Abstract
Engineered soils are not common in the Philippines.Although numerous studies have been done to different materials as candidate for engineered soil or as a soil alternative, many still use soil or traditional granular materials in geotechnical projects like embankment and fills. In this study, the effect of grain size and mix proportioning of Calaca, Batangas, Philippines Bottom Ash mixed with Muntinlupa Commercial Processed Scrap tires is known. There are three classifications made for Rubber tire scrap tires content, A,B, and C, with effective particle sizes, (D10) od 2.4mm, 0.87mm, and 0.28mm respectively, while bottom ash has 3.5mm. Moreover, three mix types are set,each varying in Rubber scrap tires content od 25, 50 and 75 percent volumetrically. The test used to determine permeability is Constant Head Permeability Test. The study shows that increasing nominal size of Rubber tire scrap correspond to significant effect in permeability. However, the percentage of rubber scrap tires in the mixture show no significant effect to the permeability of the mixture.
