Hydraulic stability of multi-layered sand-filled geotextile tube breakwaters under wave attack

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Current understanding of the hydraulic stability of a stacked geotextile tube structure under wave attack is limited. Failure mechanisms that lead to instability are complicated and there is, as yet, no generic approved design method. 2D physical modelling in the large wave/curren...
