Design aspects of geotubes and geocontainers: What we know and what we don't know

Geotubes and geocontainers (Nicolon patent) hydraulicaliy and/or meclianically filled with (dredged) materials have been successfully applied in coastal engineering in recent years. They can also be used to store and isolate contaminated materials from harbour dredging. Some informations on these systems are given in this document.

Geosystems

Literature on geosystems has been evaluated with the goal to come to a state of the art report with respect to the dimensioning of geosystems. Existing calculation models have been examined and compared with the results of measurements. Some extensions have been made on existing models to calculate the stresses in the geotextile of a...

Analyse geocontainers

In 2001 zijn fysische experimenten uitgevoerd met golfbelasting op twee stapelingen van met zand gevulde geocontainers. In het rapport van die studie (Klein Breteler, 2001) is een analyse uitgevoerd naar de drukopbouw in deze stapelingen. Op basis van de resultaten van de experimenten zijn relaties afgeleid tussen de dimensieloze drukgolfhoogte...

Grootschalige Zandlichamen

Onderzoek aan geocontainers is uitgevoerd in het kader van het WISproject "Kennisontwikkeling Geo-zandelementen" en het Delft-Clusterproject "Bouw van grootschalige zandllchamen". Modelproeven zijn uitgevoerd in verscheidene modelfaciüiteiten van WL Delft Hydraulics en GeoDelft. Veldmetingen zijn uitgevoerd aan geocontainers die gestort zijn in...

Veldmetingen storten geocontainers in Kandiadam

Large scale physical model tests on the stability of geocontainers

Within the framework of the workpackage 4c: “Flexible coastal defence with geosystems”, which is part of the workpackage 4: “Morfodynamics of the North Sea and coast” several problems are formulated with respect to the application and design of Geosystems. This is performed within the Delft Cluster project “Sustainable development of North sea...

Afrondende studies geocontaineronderzoek (Final studies geocontainer research)

Research on the behaviour of geocontainers and other geosystems has been performed in the framework of the WIS-project "Knowledge development Geo-sand elements" and the Delft Cluster project "Construction of large scale sand bodies". Model tests have been performed in several model facilities of WL½Delft Hydraulics and GeoDelft. Field...
