Abstract
Continuous research is conducted to improve the available coastal protection scheme, including to develop an innovative concrete armor unit with interlocking capability. Interlocking Concrete Unit-V (ICU-V) has light weight characteristic and developed specifically for mild wave condition. This paper discusses the performance of ICU-V represented by the Stability coefficient,KDand results of the damage progression investigation under different wave conditions. These were achieved by conducting a 2-D physical model investigation by using JONSWAP random wave spectrum. The damage ratio method was used to assess the damage progression. The optimumKDobtained was 12 with highest damage level of 0.4%, which is comparable with available armor units
