9 • GRS abutments are generally much less expensive to construct than their conventional counterparts. It has generally been assumed that the design methods and construction guidelines of GRS retaining walls are readily applicable to GRS bridge abutments.

10 – A series of load-carrying capacity analyses of GRS abutments with a segmental concrete block facing were also conducted to determine the allowable bearing pressures of sills under various design conditions. • Task 3: Conduct Full-Scale Loading Experiments Two full-scale experiments of GRS abutments with a segmental concrete block facing were performed at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center in McLean, Virginia, under the supervision of Michael Adams.
