This paper is a part of our overall research project for the ultilization of waste material to be used as a conventional construction material. This paper presents additional information on the possibility of use of scrap waste rubber tire as protective filter material. A series of laboratory tests carried out on both conventional protective filter material (processed soil) and scrap waste rubber tires include the effects of hot-cold, wet-dry and freeze-thaw cycles and contaminated pore fluids. Evaluation and justification on how this proposed scrap waste rubber tire can be used as conventional protective filter material are discussed. Comparisons among conventional filter materials such as processed soil and geosynthetics and scrap waste rubber tires are also made. Further research needs are outlined.
