1. Shredded tires or tire chips can be used as an alternative backfill material for retaining walls. Studies have shown that retaining walls backfilled with tire chips have higher safety factors against sliding and overturning under static loads compared to sand backfill. Tire chips also reduce dynamic earth pressures and displacements under seismic loading due to their lower density and higher damping properties. 2. Fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion in power plants, can be used as an embankment mate
