Course Description

380-Accelerated Bridge Program - Intro to GRS-IBS Abutment Construction

A brief introduction to Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Integrated Bridge System Construction.

After completion the reader should have: a basic understanding of this method of bridge construction and the associated equipment needed, a basic understanding of which construction methods and equipment choices are more suitable for specific bridge applications, and lastly, a basic understanding of how these choices can affect the cost, schedule, quality, and safety of a project.

From better understanding of the construction methods, engineers can account for better access and staging areas, and more efficient bridge designs to suit a construction method that is advantageous to the project.

Future courses that further detail each process will be available to provide a more comprehensive understanding of this type of bridge construction.
