Geotextile tubes are basically a huge sack filled with sand or dredged soil. Geotextile tubes are made of permeable woven or non-woven synthetic fibers (i.e., polyester or PET and polypropylene or PP). The geotextile tubes' performances in strength, dewatering, retaining solid particles and stacked stability have been studied extensively in the past. However, only little research has been done in the observation of the deformation behavior of geotextile tubes. In this paper, a large-scale apparatus for geotextile tube experiment is introduced. The apparatus is equipped with a slurry mixing station, pumping and delivery station, an observation station and a data station. For this study the large-scale apparatus was utilized in the studies regarding the stresses on the geotextile and the deformation behavior of the geotextile tube. Model tests were conducted using a custom-made woven geotextile tubes. Load cells placed at the inner belly of the geotextile tube to monitor the total soil pressure. Strain gauges were also placed on the outer skin of the tube to measure the geotextile strain. The pressure and strain sensors are attached to a data logger that sends the collected data to a desktop computer. The experiment results showed that the maximum geotextile strain occurs at the sides of the tube and the soil pressure distribution varies at each geotextile tube section.

Recently, geotextile tube method can be widely applied to the river, costal and marine in the construction field, such as embankment, groin, breakwater, dyke structures and so on, in advanced countries of the world. And that has been constructed at the temporary road for incheon, ilsan-bridge construction and coast erosion protection in republic of korea. Geotextile tube is a tube shaped geotextile product and hydraulic pumping filled with dredged soils. In this paper, the numerical analysis was performed to investigate the behavior of geotextile tube with various properties of material character, shape condition, construction pressure and so on. Also, the field test was conducted in order to identify the construction ability of Samangum waterproof embankment using geotextile tube. According to the applied of field test, geotextile tube was 65 m long and 4.0 m diameter. Also, the permeability coefficient and ultimate tensile strength of geotextile tube is $1.6{\times}10^{-1}$ cm/sec and 205.26 kN/m, respectively. As a result of filed test, when filled, geotextile tube does not attain the same as its unfilled theoretical diameter, but may reach approximately of 55 percent of the theoretical diameter. At the time, geotextile tubes were 12.56 m in circumference and filled to a height of about 2.2 m. This paper presents case study on field application and behavior analysis of the saemangum waterproof embankment donggin 1 division construction using geotextile tube.

Geotextile tube is environmentally sustainable technology and has been applied in hydraulic and coastal engineering applications. Geotextile tube is composed in permeable fabrics and Inside dredged materials, and hydraulically or mechanically filled with dredged materials. These tube are generally about 1.0m to 2.0m in diameter, through they can be sized for any application. The tubes can be used solely, or stacked to add greater height and usability. Stacked geotextile tubes will create by adding the height necessary for some breakwaters and embankment, therefore increasing the usability of geotextile tubes. This paper presents the hydrodynamic behavior of stacked geotextile tube by hydraulic model tests. The hydraulic model test conducted by structural condition and wave conditions. Structural condition is installation direction to the wave(perpendicular band 45$^{\circ}$), and wave condition is varied with the significant wave height ranging from 3.0m to 6.0m. Based on the test results, the hydrodynamic behaviors such as structural stability, wave control capacity, and strain are interpreted.

Analytical solutions for modeling geotextile tubes during the filling process and approximation method to determine the densified tube shape are reviewed. The geotextile tube filling analysis is based on Plaut & Suherman's two-dimensional solution for geotextile tubes having a weightless and frictionless inextensible membrane resting on a rigid horizontal foundation subjected to internal and external hydrostatic pressures. The approximation for the densified tube shape developed by Leshchinsky et al. was adopted. A modified method for approximating the densified tube shape based on an areal-strain deformation analysis is introduced. Design diagrams useful for approximating geotextile tube measurements in the design process are provided.

Geotextile tube technology has been perceived as an economical solution for liquid sludge treatment, and analyzing its consolidation behavior is necessary to be able to evaluate the dewatering capabilities of large geotextile tubes filled with contaminated soil, tailings, sewage sludge, and so on. The objectives of this study are to present a method that can adequately convey the consolidation behavior of geotextile tubes filled with sewage sludge, and to investigate the effects of various geotextile tube consolidation parameters. In this study, variable coefficients of consolidation are utilized to analyze the consolidation process of geotextile tubes filled with sewage sludge. The consolidation solution was verified by comparing the measured and predicted data from a hanging bag test conducted in the literature. After verifying the proposed solution, the consolidation parameters of a geotextile tube composed of a woven polypropylene outer layer and a non-woven polypropylene layer filled sewage sludge were obtained. Using the obtained parameters, the consolidation behavior of a large-scale composite geotextiles tube was predicted.

Traditional forms of river and coastal structures have become very expensive to build and maintain, because of the shortage of natural rock. Geotextile tubes hydraulically or mechanically filled with dredged materials have been applied in hydraulic and coastal engineering in recent years(shore protection structure, detached breakwater, groins and jetty). Recently, new preliminary design criteria supported by model and prototype tests, and some stability analysis calculations have been studied. In this study, the numerical analysis was performed to investigate the behavior of geotextile tube with various properties of geotextile and hydraulic pumping conditions. Numerical analysis was executed to compare with the results from the large-scale field model tests, and also compared the results of 2-D plane strain analysis and 3-D FEM analysis. A geotextile tube was modeled using the commercial finite element analysis program ABAQUS and the one-quarter of tube was modeled. Behavior of geotextile tube during the hydraulic pumping procedure was analyzed by comparing the large-scale field model test and numerical analysis. The shape variation and maximum tube height between the numerical analysis results and large-scale filed test results are turned out to be a good agreement.

최근 들어 지오텍스타일 튜브공법은 과거의 임시공법의 한계를 극복하고 다양한 분야에서 주요적용공법으로 활용이 확대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석기법을 활용하여 지오텍스타일 튜브의 시공과정에서의 거동에 대하여 연구를 수행하였으며, 수치해석결과를 기존 연구 발표된 현장 모형시험 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 수치해석은 평면변형해석과 3차원 유한요소해석 기법을 이용하여 채움 과정에서 발생하는 정수압에 따른 지오텍스타일 튜브의 형태변화와 실대형 현장실험 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 또한, 3차원 유한요소해석에서는 정수압과 지오텍스타일의 강성변화에 따른 매개변수 해석을 통하여 지오텍스타일 튜브공법의 3차원 유한요소해석 기법을 제시하였다. 평면변형 해석이론에 의한 수치해석은 지오텍스타일 튜브 전용해석 프로그램인 GeoCoPS(version 2.0)를 활용하였으며, 3차원 유한요소 해석은 범용 유한요소해석 프로그램 ABAQUS(version 5.88)를 이용하였다. 평면변형 해석과 3차원 유한요소해석 결과 모두 실대형 현장실험 결과와 근접한 거동을 나타내었으며 적용토사의 종류 및 해석상의 가정사항으로 약간의 차이점들은 발생하지만 평면변형해석 및 3차원 유한요소해석방법을 통하여 채움과정에서의 지오텍스타일 튜브의 거동을 예측할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 국내외 준설 토목섬유 튜브 공법의 시공사례에 근거한 적용성과 경제성을 분석하여 공법 결정에 미치는 영향인자에 대하여 연구하였다. 국내사례에서는 준설 토목섬유 튜브를 적용함으로써 40~50% 정도의 공사비 절감 효과가 발생하고 국외사례의 경우는 사석 제방단면의 코어 부분을 준설 토목섬유 튜브로 대체함으로써 사석 물량을 20~70%이상 절감한 것으로 보고되고 있다. 연구결과 준설 토목섬유 튜브를 활용하여 제방 축조 시 구조물의 시공규모가 클수록 경제성이 크고, 사석 운반거리는 16~25km이상인 경우에 공사비 절감효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 준설 토목섬유 튜브를 활용한 제방 축조 공법 결정 시 시공규모 및 사석 운반거리는 중요한 영향인자임을 확인하였다.
