Geotube Application in Land Reclamation from Sea

The geotubes have been widely applied in the engineering of land reclamation from sea. At present three kinds of material can be used to make geotubes: splitting film, fibrillated splitting film and multifilament. The geotubes made of these materials have their advantages and disadvantages. In engineering application to know the rule of forces change is very important. Based on geometry way, limit-filling height of geotubes is determined. Experiment in Pudong International Airport reflects that packing soil height of small-size geotubes will be smaller than that of large-size geotubes.
