California Bearing Ratio Test
Abstract
A large volume of soil sample material is laborious and time-
consuming experiment. By doing the CBR test, it is more
conventional and save time. CBR is California bearing ratio. The
strength of the aggregates that is used as a subgrade or base course
is determined by the CBR test. The test measures the shearing
resistance of soil under a controlled moisture and density condition.
A smetal piston used to penetrate through a soil, and the load is
measure versus the deformation, which will give a curve used to
find the CBR. The resources and recommended procedure make CBR
testing much easier.

design for both the road and the paved area of the aircraft. In
some cases CBR is used directly and in others it is converted to
Resilient Modulus MR using the following relationships.
The CBR is usually based on the load ratio for the penetration
of 2-5mm. If the CBR value at 5.0 mm input is large, the test
should be repeated. If the second test shows a larger amount of
CBR at the input of 5.0 mm, then this larger number should be
used. CBR tests are usually performed on the specimens for the
total moisture content (OMC) of the crushed aggregate / soil
compound as determined in the conversion composite test.

6.0 Conclusion
After carrying out the experiment, we can see that students are
now able to measure the dry unit weight of compacted
aggregate under different moisture content and plot the load vs
settlement. Most important, they are able to determine the CBR
value for the test. By measuring the pressure required to
penetrate a soil sample with a plunger of standard area, the
measured pressure is then divided by the pressure required to
achieve an equal penetration on a standard crushed rock
material. In the experiment, we finally found that the CBR
values of soil in 2.50mm for the first, second and third sample
are 9.97%, 6.42% and 8.90% respectively. While the CBR
values of soil in 5.0mm for the first, second and third sample
are 22.1%, 21.0% and 35.7% respectively. The end results for
2.50mm penetration should be greater than at 5.0mm
penetration and we have failed to get the correct values as they
should be. After repeated experiment, we should be able to
achieve the objective of the experiment, that is determining the
CBR value of the given crushed aggregate/soil sample.
