From page 251...
... CHAPTER 9 FINDINGS In many applications, GRS bridge abutments offer a relatively low-cost and easily constructed design alternative for single-span, simply-supported bridges. Previous research produced NCHRP Report 556 that provided design and construction guidelines for GRS bridge abutments with a flexible facing under static loading conditions.
From page 252...
... 248 ground acceleration exceeds 0.2 g. The ASD design method is similar to that presented in NCHRP Report 566, except for the addition of bearing pads and expansion joints at the ends of the bridge.
