| Abstract: | The structural analysis of a historical blockwork breakwater has been investigated by creating a bidimensional finite element model in Abaqus software. The structure under consideration is the St. Elmo Breakwater, one of the two breakwaters protecting the Grand Harbour, the main harbour of Malta. The breakwater was constructed with massive precast concrete blocks, cast in-place concrete elements and limestone blocks. Reference was made to the original historic drawings of the breakwater to construct a finite element model of the structure, taking into account its general geometry and also block construction. |
