Novel systems in coastal engineering : geotextile systems and other methods : an overview

Describes the typical aspects related to the design and construction of geotextile systems which can be of use in coastal and shoreline structures. For each system an overview is given of structural components and types, relevant tools during conceptual and detailed design, and some typical material and construction aspects. Where possible the test results and practical examples of real cases of design and construction are given in order to illustrate critical points and their possibilities of application.
