Abstract (EN): For many years, geosynthetics have been predominately used as filters in Coastal Engineering. This application is though very limited considering the number of feasible applications which is still growing since several years. The paper starts by showing some limitations of the present state-of-art and then introduces sonic of the Portuguese experience with Geotextile Sand-filled Containers (GSC) by reviewing a field case from the northwestern coast of Portugal. Based on this review, the paper will then critically assess the effects of the measures. Finally, aspects of ongoing research at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto on the stability and hydraulic performance of a dune erosion control system made with GSC, when Submitted to extreme hydraulic conditions are presented in-brief.
