Abstract

AbstractGeotextile tube is used to encapsulate sandy soils to enable their use as flexible, erosion-resistant, mass-gravity structures in coastal protection and land reclamation applications. The paper introduces the various grade of geotextile tube units in use and discusses their range of applications. Important stability aspects of design are presented along with geotextile tube mechanical and hydraulic property requirements. Ways of enhancing geotextile tube durability are also discussed. Two case studies are presented that demonstrate the effective use of geotextile tubes for coastal protection and land reclamation project.KeywordsGeotextile tubeWovenCompositeCoastal protectionLand reclamation
