Coastline in Abidjan has a plant of economic potential. Many previous works have been carried out there. However, few or rare are the studies which mainly address the petrosedimentary processes of these detrital deposits in their transfer to Abidjan coast. Granulometric approaches made it possible to characterize these detrital deposits of the coast. The petrosedimentary characterization made it possible to highlight a decrease in the size of sediments along Abidjan beach and an alternation or individualization of sandy facies. These sediments have a coarse asymmetry or are almost symmetrical. They are well to fairly well ranked.

Abstract: (french)
Le littoral à Abidjan présente des potentialités économiques. De nombreux travaux antérieurs y ont été réalisés. Toutefois peu ou rares sont les études qui abordent essentiellement les processus pétrosédimentaires de ces dépôts détritiques dans leur transfert sur le littoral à Abidjan. Les approches granulométriques ont permis de caractériser ces dépôts détritiques du littoral. La caractérisation pétrosédimentaire a permis de mettre en évidence une décroissance du calibre des sédiments le long de la plage d’Abidjan et une alternance ou individualisation des faciès sableux. Ces sédiments ont une asymétrie vers les grossiers ou sont presque symétriques. Ils sont bien classés à assez bien classés.
Author Keywords: Littoral, plage, granulométrie, sable, Abidjan.
