Two-dimensional analysis of geosynthetic tubes

A Remark to the Numerical Modelling of 2d Geosynthetic Tubes

“…Our mathematical model is the same as that one in (Plaut and Suherman [11]), except to the non-constant density as stated in our model in Section …”

“…We consider the consolidated state of slurry in the tube, where the density ( ) To modify the governing system in (Plaut and Suherman [11]), (Malik and Sysala [9]) for variable density we require the density characterization of the used slurry by a density distribution function …”

“…In Section 2, we present a mathematical model, which is a slight extension of that ones in (Plaut and Suherman [11]) for the rigid foundation. In Section 3, the deformable foundation is considered.…”

“…The synthetic sheet material is assumed as an inextensible membrane with negligible weight and the tube rest on a rigid, or deformable foundation. The rigid foundation has been considered in (Kazimierowicz [5]), (Leshchinsky et al [7]), (Malik and Sysala [9]) while the deformable foundation in (Plaut and Suherman [11]). Floating and submerged tubes in water have been considered in (Zhao and Aarsnes [14]).…”

“…The shapes of geosynthetic tubes have been modelled and analyzed in many papers, e.g., (Kazimierowicz [5]; Leshchinsky et al [7]; Plaut and Suherman [11]; Malik and Sysala [9]), etc. The synthetic sheet material is assumed as an inextensible membrane with negligible weight and the tube rest on a rigid, or deformable foundation.…”
