Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil-Integrated Bridge System

Conventionally, reinforced concrete piers have been the support structure of choice for modern-day bridge construction. However, as technology advances, convention seems to be shifting. There's a new kid on the block called geosynthetic reinforced soil or GRS; and it's changing the footprint of many modern-day structures. Although geosynthetic reinforced soil has been around awhile, it's use as part of an integrated bridge system, or IBS, is fairly new.
