STAGE IV
The fourth stage can only occur if the circumference of the geotextile is relatively
large and the further downward movement of the geotextile container is temporarily
halted. After some deformation of the geotextile container a new equilibrium condi-
tion is reached. If the split barge is opened further, the geotextile container again
