Abstract
The article presents a parametric study of optimal designs for geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) bridge abutments. A mixed integer design optimization model GRS-BA was developed, which is comprised of an accurate objective function of the construction costs. The cost objective function was constrained by a set of geotechnical and design conditions that were in accordance with current practice rules and recommendations. The optimal design recommendation for GRS bridge abutments was developed. A typical example of such an abutment is presented in order to compare design solutions derived from conventional design methods with solutions obtained from the proposed optimal design procedure.
