Abstract：The oil and gas resources are abundant in the Huanghua coastal zone and the human activities are also increasingly frequent.Artificial development has changed the hydrodynamic environment of the study area,and then impacted the scouring and silting evolution of the coastal beach.In this paper,the results from section measurement, particle size measurement and radiometric dating carried out in the study area are ana-lyzed and the reasons and rules of the scouring and silting evolution of the beach under the influence of seaward road construction are discussed.It could be considered that the beach in the study area is,as a whole,in a dynamic equilibrium state or a slightly scou-ring state,and that the constructions of artificial facilities on the shore,such as coastal reclamation,building dams and so on,are the main forces and reasons for the coastline changes.The results of the study not only provide basic data and references for the fur-ther researches on the sediment scouring and silting and the beach evolution in the study area,but also have certain enlightenment and reference for the studies of beach evolu-tion in the western coastal zone of the Bohai Sea and even in the whole coastal areas of China.
