woven materials that are filled with sand on-site. These systems are relatively new E.W. Vastenburg
and the number of applications is growing in river and coastal engineering. Quite
often Geosystems are mentioned as a possible solution, but planners, designers and
contractors feel rather hesitant about the application of geotextile encapsulated sand
elements due to a lack of experience and adequate design rules.

The use of geosystems has the advantage that local material can be applied and that
no (expensive) quarry stone needs to be extracted and transported from the mountains
to the site. Compared to traditional construction methods (with quarry stone) the
application of geotextile sand filled elements may add considerable operational
advantages to the execution of marine works and may offer attractive financial
opportunities. In the application of geotextile encapsulated sand elements however,
proper attention should be paid to the laying down of different responsibilities of the
parties in the contract.

In Geosystems. Design Rules and Applications four types of geotextile sand

Geosystems
elements are distinguished, each with specific properties: geo-bags, geo-mattresses,
geotextile tubes and geotextile containers. The focus is on the use of geosystems filled
with sand as a construction in river and coastal engineering. Geosystems filled with
sludge are not covered. The chapters “Introduction” and “General design aspects”
are followed by four chapters of the same structure dealing with the various systems.
Each of these four chapters starts with a general description and applications and
ends with a calculation example. Design aspects are dealt with in the remaining
paragraphs.

Preface

Geotextile-encapsulated sand elements are three-dimensional systems manufactured


from textile materials that are filled with sand. They form a sub-group of a wider
system of geosynthetic solutions for erosion control that are known as Geosystems.
These elements are used in hydraulic engineering structures such as dams, dykes and
breakwaters as an alternative for quarry stone e.g. as core material. They may also be
used for bottom or bank protection or to fill up a scour hole.
The use of these elements has the advantage that local material can be utilized
and that no stone needs to be extracted and transported from a quarry to the site.
Compared to traditional construction methods (with quarry stone) the application of
geotextile sand filled elements may add considerable operational advantages to the
execution of hydraulic works and may offer attractive financial opportunities and
environmental aspects.
New and promising developments in hydraulic engineering, such as geotextile-
encapsulated sand elements, are sometimes hampered by the lack of design rules.
That’s probably the reason why planners, designers and contractors are therefore
rather hesitant to apply these materials.
Most of the design rules are empirical in nature and this means that existing
experience is therefore required to design new structures. For this reason it is a chal-
lenge to design a structure when only limited experience is available with that type of
material.
This was the idea of the CUR-committee F42 (CUR Building & Infrastructure)
where existing experiences and research results were gathered and compiled in the
CUR-publication 217 “Ontwerpen met geotextiele zandelementen”.
The original CUR-217 publication is in Dutch and this manual makes the con-
tents of this publication available for an international audience. Most of this manual
is a translation of CUR-217. However, additions have been made to give this manual
more international relevance. In addition, some improvements and corrections have
been made. When the CUR publication 217 was published the CUR-committee F42
had the following members:

• Dr. J.G. de Gijt (Chairman, Rotterdam Public Works*/Delft University of


Technology)
• G.J. Akkerman (Royal Haskoning)
• Dr. A. Bezuijen (Editor, Deltares*/Ghent University)
• E. Berendsen (Ministry of Public Works*)

translation was edited by E.W. Vastenburg and Dr. A. Bezuijen. Final editing and
quality scan was done by C. Lawson. In addition, technical changes are discussed with
the members of the F42 committee.
Research for this publication and translation in English was funded by Delft Clus-
ter and Deltares. The Dutch Chapter of IGS, NGO, participated in the research and

a maximum opening width of 2 m, a geotextile container filled with
sand and a filled cross-section of 10 m2, a minimum circumference
of 17.5 m is required 77
