SECTION 145 GEOSYNTHETIC REINFORCEMENT 145-1 Description. This Section specifies the construction requirements for geosynthetics used in: geosynthetic reinforced soil slopes, and geosynthetic reinforced foundations constructed on soft in-situ soils. Furnish and place geosynthetics and any associated facing material or drainage blankets. 145-2 Responsibility. Construct the geosynthetic reinforced feature, including materials, method, and installation based on information provided in the Contract [...] in accordance with FM 5-550. If the resolution test result satisfies the required criteria, material of that soil type will be verified and accepted. If the resolution test results do not meet the required criteria, reject the material and reconstruct with acceptable material. 145-8 Method of Measurement. 145-8.1 Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Slopes: The quantity to be paid for will be the plan area, in square feet, of the projected vertical height of the slope face, measured from the top of [...] activities, and on-site technical assistance during construction. Submit a copy of any instructions provided by the supplier to the Engineer prior to beginning installation. 145-4.2 Reinforced Soil Slopes: 145-4.2.1 Preparation: Remove all existing vegetation and all unsuitable foundation materials. Prepare the foundation in accordance with Section 110, except as noted herein. Proof roll the graded area with a vibratory roller weighing a minimum of 8 tons or a sheepsfoot roller, where

soils. • Fill slope side: The fill slope at the wing walls is usually built with native soil fill following embankment construction standards, with fill placed in compacted lifts not exceeding 12 inches in thickness, as the GRS wall advances upward. The fill slope should be constructed with a drain path that leads away from the wall face. Surface runoff should be diverted to prevent saturation of the soil fill slope. Temporary drainage may need to be installed to preserve the integrity of the [...] Adams, M.T. (2013).

The only requirement is that they meet the standards provided in this manual. The main materials that should be reviewed prior to construction are as follows (see chapter 3 for more details): • CMU block specifications or other type of facing element. • Backfill gradation, type, and source. The backfill submittal should include aggregates used for the RSF, the abutment wall, and the integrated approach. • Geosynthetic reinforcement. 8.7 PROJECT DRAWINGS AND DOCUMENTS

and surrounding the foundation. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has developed a low-cost, fast-construction technique that blends a portion of the typical structure and foundation elements together by using a soil composite mass via a Geosynthetically Reinforced Soil System (GRSS). According to NYSDOT Standard Specifications, an internally stabilized earth system is a series of tensile reinforcing elements which, when placed in multiple layers within the backfill volume, improves the [...] Reinforced Soil (GRS) is alternating layers of compacted granular fill reinforced with geosynthetic reinforcement (e.g., geotextiles, geogrids). The primary reinforcement spacing in GRS is equal to 8 in. Facing elements can be frictionally connected to the reinforcement layers to form the outer wall. The facing elements do not need mechanical connections to each other or to the layers of reinforcement. The 8 in. height ensures compaction at every lift and is compatible with the frictional [...] improves the strength such that the vertical face of the stabilized earth volume is essentially self supporting. Therefore, a Geosynthetically Reinforced Soil System (GRSS) is an internally stabilized fill structure faced with either welded wire forms (typically used for temporary walls); geocells; or timbers. A GRSS is comprised of earth backfill, extensible (geosynthetic) reinforcing elements used for internal stabilization and surface protection to resist erosion. For wall applications, the

The use of geosynthetics in civil engineering applications is increasing annually. One new application, the construction of a geosynthetic-reinforced soil foundation (GRSF) to support a shallow spread footing has considerable potential as a cost-effective alternative to over-excavation and replacement, consolidation, densification and chemical stabilization. In this technique, one or more layers of a geosynthetic reinforcement and controlled fill are placed below a shallow spread footing to [...] Under this ground condition, GRS RWs can be constructed without using piles, while the conventional RWs should be supported by piles. This example demonstrates a very high cost-effectiveness of GRS RW (refer to Fig. 23.2) such that the construction cost ratio is 0.32; the maintenance cost ratio for 20 years is 0.5; and the total cost ratio is 0.33. Even when the ground is relatively firm and no piles are used with the conventional-type RWs, the construction cost ratio is 0.81; the maintenance [...] mainly when used in combination with waste materials . Furthermore, compared with preloading techniques (with or without PVD), a geosynthetic-reinforced and column-supported (GRCS) ground improvement method needs a short construction time and prevents the existing structures from being subject to distress . After long periods of use, the geosynthetics may become plastic waste, which is one of their disadvantages. However, the findings of a study illustrated the effective reuse of demolished
