Abstract
This paper discusses the methodology on performance assessment of un-reinforced concrete coastal structures with cracks. Inspection on un-reinforced concrete parapets has been conducted to measure crack widths, depths and length. Based on the inspection, an equation to estimate a crack depth from its width was proposed. Subsequently, an un-reinforced concrete parapet was modelled with various crack patterns by using the proposed equation considering the dimension of the structure. A finite element analysis was carried out to identify the relationship between crack patterns and structural performance of un-reinforced concrete parapet.[This abstract is not included in the PDF]
