Abstract

Chile is heavily dependent on international trade, making its port infrastructure crucial for its economic development. Projections show that container freight demand is growing rapidly. To cope with the growing demand, an expansion for the port of San Antonio has been proposed. However, current expansion plans have faced opposition due to environmental and social impacts. This research investigates current social issues and the technical feasibility of harnessing natural sediment transport to create a Building with Nature port expansion solution.
