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.

Displacement is an important element for evaluating the stability and failure mechanism of hydraulic structures. Digital image correlation (DIC) is a useful technique to measure a three-dimensional displacement field using two cameras without any contact with test material. The objective of this study is to evaluate the behavior of stacked geotextile tubes using the DIC technique. Geotextile tubes are stacked to build a small-scale temporary dam model to exclude water from a specific area. The horizontal and vertical displacements of four stacked geotextile tubes are monitored using a dual camera system according to the upstream water level. The geotextile tubes are prepared with two different fill materials. For each dam model, the interface layers between upper and lower geotextile tubes are either unreinforced or reinforced with a cementitious binder. The displacement of stacked geotextile tubes is measured to analyze the behavior of geotextile tubes. Experimental results show that as upstream water level increases, horizontal and vertical displacements at each layer of geotextile tubes initially increase with water level, and then remain almost constant until the subsequent water level. The displacement of stacked geotextile tubes depends on the type of fill material and interfacial reinforcement with a cementitious binder. Thus, the proposed DIC technique can be effectively used to evaluate the behavior of a hydraulic structure, which consists of geotextile tubes.

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.

지오텍스타일은 지난 30여년 동안 모래주머니, 훼브릭 폼, 게비언 등 다양한 형태의 컨데이너(구속체)로 활용되어져 왔다. 다양한 크기의 지오텍스타일 컨데이너(구속체)는 주로 수러학적 제어구조물로 홍수재해 방지 및 복구 구조물로 적용되었으며, 최근 지오텍스타일의 직조기술, 채움기술 등의 발달과 함께 해안침식방지구조물, 방파제, 제방 등 친환경적이며 신개념의 해안구조물로 적용이 확대되고 있다 본 연구에서는 지오텍스타일 튜브 구조물이 해안구조물로 설치될 경우에 대한 수리모형시험을 통하여 튜브구조물의 수리동역학적 특성(안정성, 파랑제어 및 전달특성)에 대하여 실험적 연구를 수행하였으며, 특히 구조물 단면의 확대와 심해에 설치될 경우를 고려한 다단식 튜브구조물에 대하여 수리모형시험을 실시하였다. 수리모형시험 조건은 해안설치 조건를 고려하여 설치조건과 파랑조건을 요소화하였다. 설치조건은 파랑에 대하여 직각방향과 경사방향으로 설치될 경우를 고려하였으며, 파랑조건은 유의파고 변화를 3.0m~6.0m까지 실험을 실시하였다. 본 연구진의 선행연구결과와 비교할 떼, 다단식 튜브구조물이 단일튜브보다 더 안정적이며, 천단고가 없는 경우가 천단고가 0.5H인 경우에 비하여 더 안정적인 것으로 도출되었다. 또한, 파랑 전행에 대하여 경사로 설치된 경우가 천단고 유무에 관계없이 파랑감쇄능력이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
