For the reuse of waste tires and the research and development of simple construction method and low maintenance cost, a preliminary concept of perforated elastic curtain which can be used at wharfs is proposed based on experimental studies of regular wave hydraulic model. The perforated elastic curtain is, in a modular manner, assembled into by using model vehicle tires, and then by installing the elastic curtain on the front wall of the wharf the effects of the action of different periodic waves and the different widths of wave dissipation chamber on the wave reflectivity are studied experimentally. The model test results indicate that the perforated elastic curtain with a single wave dissipation chamber has a remarkable wave dissipation effect in the case of short period waves, and that a larger width of the wave dissipation chamber can cause a lower wave reflectivity. Although water oscillation may be caused, the energy dissipation effect of the wave dissipation chamber could be reintensified in the future. If the application of real waste tires to the perforated elastic curtain structures can be studied well in the future, not only the pressure of the waste tire treatment on the environment could be relieved, but a wave dissipation structure which is simple in construction and convenient in maintenance and can be applied at a simple fishing port could also be provided. This technique can be exported to the developing countries.
