Abstract: Compared with the traditional abutments, the mixed abutment has the advantages of reducing the span length of the bridge superstructure, improving the backfill performance, rapid construction and improving the bridge esthetics. The structure has very good applications and promotion values under the current background of land shortage, assembly construction and ecological carbon reduction. Based on the monitoring practice of the wrapped non-load-bearing reinforced soil abutments in Mingguang to Chaohu Expressway Project, this paper introduces the details of monitoring purpose, content and selection of monitoring components of the project, also summarizes the implementation and potential critical aspects for the field monitoring. The field monitoring is of great significance to the study of working mechanism and service performance of the wrapped geosynthetic reinforced soil abutment.
