AB  - The Earth improvement on active zone of retaining structure became an effective and reliable method
to increase the stability of retaining wall. In this study, the performance of Lightweight Geocomposite Material
(LWGM) as a backfill were investigated by measuring the retaining wall deflection and compared with other
materials. The LWGM were created by mixture soil with Expanded Polysterene (EPS) and its stabilized with
Waste of Buton Asphalt (WBA). The compositions of LWGM consists of 7% of WBA and 0.30% of EPS based
on dry density of soil in form of block with dimension 0.20×0.20×0.59 m. The laboratorium-scale model using
container steel with dimension of 1.50×0.60 and 1.40 m in height while the sheet pile model using 3.2 mm steel
plate with dimension 1.20×0.59 m. Based on the results, it shows that the utilisation of LWGM backfill could
reduce the deflection of sheet pile compared to coarse agregat for 80% and EPS geofoam for 60%.
