Breakwater Innovation Design Using a Geotextile Tube as a Core
This paper presents the development of an innovative design to adopt geotextile tubes as core in a concrete Core-Loc breakwater. The concept was considered as both a valuable engineering exercise (cost and time saving) to take advantage of abundance of both dredged material and volcanic sand at the remote project site. The paper details the number of design challenges that were considered through the breakwater’s design development and 2D physical modelling study. A comparison is then presented between the geotextile tube breakwater and a traditional breakwater of rock core, with resulting conclusions and recommendations.
