The use of geosynthetic in soil and coastal engineering is increasing and improving due to
improvements in its engineering properties and fabrication techniques. While some …

This new edition-now with Nancy Jackson as a co-author-continues the themes of the first
edition: the need to restore the biodiversity, ecosystem health, and ecosystem services …

Managing marine ecosystems to promote natural functioning and provide for sustainable
use is a necessary complement to formal conservation in protected areas. Because the area …

Hybrid shore protection projects combine hard structures with beaches, sand dunes and
vegetation, mimicking the appearance and function of natural landforms. These advantages …

Harnessing the advantages of geotextile sand containers (GSCs), numerous submerged
breakwaters and shoreline protection structures have been constructed worldwide. But an …

Soilbags are three-dimensional soil-confining units used in road foundations. This paper
uses vertical repeated loading tests to investigate the performance of soilbags as …

Breakwaters are essential constructions providing tranquility to ports and harbour structures,
when there is a lack of natural protection measures. Traditionally these massive structures …

A study was performed to investigate the bearing capacity of foundations reinforced by
soilbags filled with excavated soft soils by conducting field load tests and numerical …

The application of soilbags in permanent or semi-permanent projects is becoming
increasingly wider. When used in some projects like retaining walls, soilbags are usually …

Soilbags have good reinforcement effect on soil slopes. In this paper, traditional soilbag is
modified by adding a tail to it. Model tests have been used to study the influence of soilbag …
