Numerical simulation of the structural behaviour of concrete tetrapods subject to imposed deformations and applied loads

Tetrapods for coastal protection are frequently used in break waters for dissipation of wave energy. During their service, these plain concrete elements usually exhibit degradation signs with frequent premature rupture of one or more of their legs when located in highly aggressive environments subje...
