Maritime climate, degree of energy exposure and size of the sand grains were taken into account to study the two sections of the biparabolic profile. The objective of the study was the determination of more accurate formulations of the design parameters for the equilibrium profile that involves tidal seas. These formulations were modelled and validated based on existing profiles to quantify the error existing between the real profile and the modelling. This comparative analysis was extended by considering the formulations proposed by other authors. The best results were obtained with the proposal presented herein.}, publisher = {PONTIFICIA UNIV CATOLICA CHILE}, keywords = {Beache}, keywords = {equilibrium profile}, keywords = {biparabolic}, keywords = {tide}, keywords = {sediment size}, keywords = {nourishment}, title = {New design parameters for biparabolic beach profiles (SW Cadiz, Spain)}, doi = {10.7764/RDLC.18.3.432}, author = {Contreras de Villar, Antonio and Gomez Pina, Gregorio and Muñoz Pérez, Juan José and Contreras de Villar, Francisco and Lopez Garcia, Patricia and Ruiz Ortiz, Verónica}, }
