Abstract

The constant assault of waves contributes to the loss of valuable coastal land of La Union, necessitating innovative and sustainable methods to protect the shoreline. In the pursuit of sustainable solutions, innovative technologies such as hydraulic geotextile tubes have emerged as promising contenders for enhancing shoreline protection. This study explores the design and application of hydraulic geotextile tubes as breakwater cores along the La Union shoreline. Due to their permeability and flexibility, hydraulic geotextile tubes offer a viable substitute for conventional breakwater materials. The research aims to provide valuable insights into sustainable coastal management by determining how these tubes can be designed to resist wave forces, ensure stability against hydrodynamic pressures, identify various installation methods, and evaluate their advantages and disadvantages in preventing shoreline erosion and potentially reclaiming sand. The study's findings could inform strategies that balance shoreline protection with environmental preservation. It highlights the interaction between creative engineering solutions and environmental stewardship in addressing evolving coastal challenges.
