• W15660030 abstract "In 2002 the Vermont Agency of Transportation constructed its first Foster Geotechnical Retained Earth™ mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall as part of the Bennington-Hoosick project. The wall was constructed as the west abutment over the Airport Brook West as part of the Bennington Bypass, along Vermont Route 9, 2.00 km east of the Vermont-New York border. The wall will be supporting one end of a 55-m simple span steel girder bridge. Foster Geotechnical provided the shop drawings for the project, based upon design criteria provided in the contract plans. Since this was the State of Vermont’s first time using this particular type of MSE wall, it was designated a Category II Experimental Feature and incorporated extensive geotechnical instrumentation. Foster Geotechnical Retained Earth™ MSE wall is an economical and aesthetically customizable product that worked very well for this project. The wall is approximately 10 m high and 50 m long, including both wing walls, for a total wall area of approximately 450 sq m (4844 sq ft). The Foster Geotechnical Retained Earth™ system was determined to be beneficial for several reasons: (1) Complete details of the wall system would be solicited in advance and incorporated into the contract documents. This would allow contractors in this area not familiar with this type of construction to become better acquainted with the construction requirements. (2) The design could be reviewed in advance by the Agency of Transportation. This would allow the Agency to resolve any problems it had with computations, allowable stresses, design loads, construction details and specifications, before bid letting. (3) An MSE wall can be constructed to greater heights compared to a conventionally reinforced concrete abutment. For this project the MSE wall allowed for a reduction in the span length. The preliminary estimates were for a savings of $67,000 in foundation costs and $120,000 in superstructure costs as a result of the decreased span length. (4) In accordance with the Agency’s “Policy on Earth Retaining Structures” dated November 1995, successful completion and satisfactory performance of this wall in the field would allow the addition of another MSE system to the Agency’s Approved Product List and more competitive bidding of future projects. (5) An MSE wall would be more tolerant of differential settlement than a conventional reinforced concrete wall. This report documents observations during and post construction and provides a summary of the authors' recommendations." @default.
