The article focuses on an innovative technology used by the Delaware Department of Transportation to replace a two-lane bridge in Delaware. Topics discussed include the use of geosynthetics reinforced soil (GRS) as part of an integrated bridge system (IBS), need to determine the foundation soil conditions for proper design of the GRS-IBS, and the use of a custom-designed instrumentation system to monitor long-term performance.
