Sandfill-Retaining rubble mound structures: Evaluating the behaviour of sediments at the interface of a rubble mound with a reclamation, by means of physical modelling

Currently, sand retaining rubble mound structures are often constructed with geotextiles, lining the interface between the core material and the sandfill. These geotextiles are placed to make sure the sand from the sandfill is not flushed out through the core by incoming hydraulic forces from the surrounding water. It is proposed that...
