Model and Experimental Studies of the Seepage Failure of Damaged Geotextile at the Joint between Tubes in a Geotextile Tube Dam

This paper focuses on the impact of geotextile tube damage at the joints between tubes on dam structures subjected to seepage. First, a seepage-induced failure critical gradient model for damaged geotextile tubes was developed. Tests were conducted using geotextile specimens with precut O-shaped hol...
