Description/Abstract
Within a large & full scale study on wave impact induced pressures on coastal structures (BWIMCOST) an investigation of impact pressure propagation into structure cracks and fissures was carried out. The mechanism, which is held responsible for localized damage to existing blockwork breakwaters, had previously been verified in small scale model tests and a numerical model had been developed. The current investigation is the first which describes the effect at full scale, with recorded pressures of up to 199 kPa found within the cracks. The experimental results are related to their possible impact on coastal structural integrity.
