Application Of Geotubes In Civil And Environmental Engineering
Abstract
Geotubes have been successfully used for shoreline protection, stabilization of dredged
materials and dewatering of slurry since the early 1980s.They have found extensive use in
wide variety of applications because of their simplicity in placement and constructability,
effective volume containment, cost effectiveness, and minimum impact on environment.
Using geotubes to dewater high water content material is still relatively new and there are
no standard criteria available for the selection of the geotube materials. This presentation
will provide an overview of current analytical and experimental research on geotubes.
