Experimental study of seepage-scour failure in geotextile tubes gap with damaged vertical sidewall

Geotextile tubes, hydraulically filled with a slurry of fine silt and water, have been variously applied in hydraulic and coastal engineering fields. However, geotextile damage poses a great threat to structures made of geotextile tubes. When a water head difference exists across the tube, the soil in damaged tubes is...
