Researcher Works with FDOT to Evaluate Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Structures

Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are working to make bridge construction more efficient by evaluating Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) structures used for bridge supports. GRS technology has gained attention in the past 20 years and has the potential to provide resilient, sustainable and economical structures systems for transportation infrastructure. It is used for bridges, protective barriers against rockfall, debris and avalanches, and for shoreline protection.
