This paper describes the findings on the effectiveness of waterfront retaining structure reinforced with cushion made of tire chips, which has been analyzed using commercial software, PLAXIS 2D. The numerical model was subjected to the real earthquake recorded during the 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthqu...
