Two-Dimensional Analysis of Water-Filled Geomembrane Tubes Used as Temporary Flood-Fighting Devices
… tube is considered for the purpose of temporary flood protection. With proper design, this tube can be a cheap and efficient breakwater, temporary levee, or cofferdam. This thesis considers a single tube resting on clay and sand foundations. A finite difference program, FLAC, is used in the …

Two-Dimensional Analysis of Four Types of Water-Filled Geomembrane Tubes as Temporary Flood-Fighting Devices
Two-dimensional analysis of four types of water-filled tube dams is carried out: an apron-tube dam, a single baffle tube dam, a sleeved tube dam, and a stacked tube dam. Since the analysis of the water-filled tube dam involves highly nonlinear geometric deformations and interactions with soil, …

Experiments and Analysis of Water-filled Tubes Used as Temporary Flood Barriers
… can be used in applications to resist rising floodwaters. They can also be used to form breakwaters and protect shores from erosion. This thesis considers single and stacked tubes resting on a rigid and deformable foundation resisting rising hydrostatic headwater. Experiments were carried out …

Two-Dimensional Vibrations of Inflated Geosynthetic Tubes Resting on a Rigid or Deformable Foundation
… have the potential to replace the traditional flood protection device of sandbagging. These tubes are manufactured with many individual designs and configurations. A small number of studies have been conducted on the geosynthetic tubes as water barriers. Within these studies, none have …
