Route 22 Over Liberty Avenue and Conrail Hillside Township, Union County, Monitoring of Tensar MSE Walls
This report discusses the application of Tensar geogrids as the reinforcement elements in the construction of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls on the Route 22 over Conrail and Liberty Avenue bridge replacement project in Hillside, New Jersey. As this is a relatively new product to the New Jersey Department of Transportation, the geogrids were instrumented with strain gages and tiltmeters to allow performance monitoring of the MSE walls during and after construction. This report documents the results and findings of the monitoring data at the end of construction and after six months, as well as an optical surveying of the MSE wall faces to determine post-construction wall movement. The monitoring effort is in collaboration with the Federal Highway Administration’s Long Term Bridge Performance Program.
