Study Notes
Earthworks (1.0)
- Acronyms (1.01) are listed but not defined.
- Definitions and Standard Tests (1.02) are referenced, details needed from external source.
- Riprap (1.03): A constructed layer of stone to prevent erosion, scour, or sloughing; resistance depends on stone weight, size, shape, channel geometry, and filter blanket.
- Gabion System (1.04): Wire-enclosed riprap; consists of wire mesh baskets filled with small riprap, anchored to slopes.
- Geosynthetics (1.05): Include geotextiles (filtration, erosion control, sediment control – silt fences), geonets (continuous polymeric ribs for in-plane flow, with or without bonded geotextile filters, sometimes called composite drainage nets (CDNs)), and geocells (3D prefabricated polymeric systems, 100-200mm high, collapsed for delivery, then spread and filled).
- Erosion Control Materials (1.06) are mentioned but specifics are missing.
- Local Borrow Fill materials: ESCOMBRO costs ₱5,000 per 15-16 cubic meters. ESCOMBRO – BULIK (for Riprap) is also mentioned.
Termite/Bukbok Proofing (2.01)
- Physical barriers
- Chemical barriers
- Bait systems
Roads & Parking (3.0)
-
Subgrade and Base Course Materials (3.01):

- Choker Aggregate
-
Paving and Surfacing (3.02):
