CBR Test Appratus
Specification
The
California Bearing Ratio test, (usually called CBR test) is an
empirical test developed in California, USA for determining the Relative
Bearing Ratio and expansion characteristics under known surcharge
weight of base, sub-base and sub grade soils for the design of roads,
pavements and runways. The CBR test is used extensively in selection of
materials and control of subgrades.
The
test can be performed in the laboratory on prepared samples or in-situ
on location. It is important to appreciate that this test, being of an
empirical in nature, is valid only for the application for which it was
developed i.e., the design of highway base thickness.
