Cost effective construction methods using geosynthetic containers
The term 'geosynthetic containers' encompasses all elements that use a geosynthetic fabric as the material to enclose materials such as sand, concrete, waste material, etc. Such elements include bags of all sizes, tubes, mattresses of different shape, gabions and more. Many applications have been developed from traditional construction methods with natural material like rubble mound, wood, natural fibres. The use of construction methods incorporating geosynthetic containers have often resulted either in better structures with increased resistance, extended lifetime or shorter construction time, or in lower costs for structures of the same quality, or even both simultaneously. The paper presents an overview of elements with geosynthetic casing and their possible applications, concentrating on hydraulic structures and coastal protection works. Examples of cost effective applications are given, comparing traditional and alternative construction methods. Examples in coastal protection show that sometimes geosynthetic containers only allow for protection measures at reasonable costs.
