Abstract
In this study, a two-dimensional consolidation solution for geotextile tubes filled with fine-grained material was presented. The solution is based on a combination of various methods that were modified or extended to take into account the change in tube shape, the nonlinear interaction between the soil and geotextile, and the water content distribution of the tube during consolidation. Using the proposed solution, the effect of various necessary input parameters was investigated. Thereafter, numerous dewatering and consolidation properties of various combinations of geotextiles and fill materials were obtained from several tests such as the half cross-section test, hanging bag tests, and geotextile tube demonstration test. Results of the study have shown that the method presented in this study can well-represent the consolidation behavior of geotextile tubes filled with fine-grained material.
