Calculated dimensions of the geotextile tube above water as a function of the degree of
filling. Assumed unit weight 20 kN/m

for pressure on the upper side of the geotextile tube
during the filling 5 kPa (Note: this figure applies only for 5 kPa. The degree of filling, height
and circumference of the geotextile tube are thus related to each other as above).

Calculated dimensions of the geotextile tube below water as a function of the degree of
filling. Assumed unit weight 10 kN/m

for overpressure on the upper side of the geotextile
tube during the filling 5 kPa (Note: this figure applies only for 5 kPa. The degree of filling,
height and circumference of the geotextile tube are thus related to each other as above).
