The West Sumatra Government which has a significant <br>long beach has made many abrasion prevention structures to stop loosing of hundreds of meters of land due <br>to abrasion. In fact, the abrasion prevention structures not only protect the beach but on the other hand they <br>also change the shape of the beach. A field study has been conducted and found that beaches that have been <br>protected with abrasion prevention structures are susceptible to changes in shape. On the one side, the change <br>provides benefits but on the other hand, it causes a new problem. This paper explains the relationship <br>between the dimensions of the coastal abrasion prevention structure and the properties of adjacent beach <br>sediment related to the shoreline changes occurring in West Sumatra. This study is very important to provide <br>a prediction of shoreline changes due to the prevention of abrasion related to the beach soil properties. The <br>result can be used to determine the precise abrasion prevention structures in accordance with the conditions <br>of sediment on the beach for a future expected change.</p>}, number={57}, journal={GEOMATE Journal}, author={Abdul Hakam and Junaidi and Bayu M Adji and Shafira Rahmadilla Hape}, year={2019}, month={Jan.}, pages={170–175} }
