The geotextile tube’s performance in strength, dewatering, retaining solid particles and stacked stability have been studied extensively in the past. However, only little research have been done in the observation of stress behavior of geotextile tubes. In this paper, a large-scale apparatus for geotextile tube experiment is introduced. Model tests was conducted using a custom made woven geotextile tubes. Load cells placed at the inner belly of the geotextile tube to monitor the total soil pressure. The pressure sensors are attached to a data logger which sends the collected data to a desktop computer. The experiment results showed that the maximum geotextile the soil pressure distribution varies at each geotextile tube section.
