1 SCOPE This Standard sets out the procedure for the determination of the California
Bearing Ratio (CBR) of a soil when compacted and tested in the laboratory. The method
is applicable to both fine-grained and medium-grained soils as defined in AS 1289.0.

3 DEFINITIONS For the purpose of this Standard, the definitions below apply.
3.1 Laboratory moisture ratio—the ratio of the moisture content of the specimen to the
optimum moisture content of the material as determined on material prepared in
accordance with Clause 5(a), as applicable, expressed as a percentage.
3.2 Laboratory density ratio—the ratio of the dry density of the specimen to the
maximum dry density of the material as determined on material prepared in accordance
with Clause 5(a), as applicable, expressed as a percentage.
