Abstract: The present paper introduces the site selection and planning study for the Jingtang Port in The present paper introduces the site selection and planning study for the Jingtang Port in Tangshan, which has rapidly grown from a local minor port into one of the key ports along the coast of China. Starting from the largest dredged-in harbor basin, then in China, the harbor has undergone continuous development and improvement through planning, design and construction while overcoming key technical problems such as layout of dredged-in basin, structure of underground diaphragm sheet pile walling, and the protection of approach channel along silty seabed.
