[EN] With 60% of the world's population inhabited in close proximity to the shoreline and the coast responsible for a big part of the world's economy and tourisms, it is of the essence to protect this coast no matter what happens. Therefore it's very valuable to know with which processes this coast is associated, leading to a lot of previous research regarding the matter. Not only research on what goes on at the coast, but also on how to stop these processes from happening offering different solutions. These solutions consist of hard measures or soft measures, with the latter having less of an impact on the environment. In recent centuries, the climate has been changing leading to an increase of storm surges and a rise of the average sea water level. This brings about different complications to consider while designing coastal protection mechanisms. Due to this phenomenon a lot of countries have started a masterplan to counteract the increased erosion risk caused by climate change. In Belgium this meant the development of the integrated coastal safety plan, which has to make sure the Belgian coastline can endure a 1000-year storm. To make this happen, there has been a global investigation along the coastline to point out the weak points, which were in need of reinforcement. This thesis describes one of such weak spots along the Belgian shoreline, being Wenduine, a small coastal town with a sea wall that the integrated coastal safety plan deemed insufficient. A practical application of the previous literature was conducted to check for possibilities for the reinforcement of this area. Followed by an economic analysis. ; [ES] Con 60% de la poblacion mundial habitando en la cercanias de las lineas costeras y siendo la costa responsable de gran parte de la economia mundial y del touirsmo, es essencial proteger las costas, paso lo que pase. Por lo tanto es de gran valor saber con que procesos se asocia la costa, llevandonos a antiguas investigaciones sobre la materia. No solo investigaciones sobre lo que sussede en ...
