Impact du port sur la plage de Gijón
The construction of Torres breakwater, as part of the expansion plan of the industrial port of Gijón (Spain), requires a previous evaluation of the structure morphodynamic impact on the beaches in the vicinity of the port. This paper contains the specific study of the San Lorenzo beach morphodynamic behaviour, directly affected by the presence of the new breakwater. The changes on wave propagation, namely a reduction of the incident energy and diffraction of the wave fronts, induce a beach profile steepening and a clockwise rotation of the coastline. This configuration change, coupled with a sand nourishment, would permit to overcome the current lack of dry beach and, as a consequence, to improve the functionality of the beach.
