Cbr soil test pdf

Record the load readings at penetrations of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 7.5, 10 and 12.5 mm. Note the maximum load and corresponding penetration if it occurs for a penetration less than 12.5 mm. The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test is a penetration test used to evaluate the subgrade strength of roads and
pavements. The results of these tests are used with the curves to determine the thickness of pavement and its component layers. This is the most widely used method for the design of flexible pavement.[1] The CBR test was developed by the California Division of Highways to classify and evaluate soil-sub grade and
base coarse materials for flexible pavements. An empirical test, the CBR test has been used to determine the material properties for pavement design. Empirical tests measure the strength of the material and are not a true representation of the resilient modulus.[2][3] It is a penetration test in which a standard piston, with
a diameter of 50 mm (1.969 in), is used to penetrate the soil at a standard rate of 1.25 mm/minute. The pressure up to a penetration of 2.5 mm is measured and its ratio to the bearing value of a standard crushed rock is termed as the CBR. Although the force increases with the depth of penetration, in most cases, it does
not increase as quickly as it does for the standard crushed rock, so the ratio decreases. In some cases, the ratio at 5 mm may be greater than that at 2.5 mm. If this occurs, the ratio at 5 mm should be used. The CBR is a measure of resistance of a material to penetration of a standard plunger under controlled density and
moisture conditions. The test procedure should be strictly adhered to if a high degree of reproducibility is desired. The CBR test may be conducted on a remolded or undisturbed specimen in the laboratory. The test is simple and has been extensively investigated for field correlations of flexible pavement thickness
requirement. The laboratory CBR apparatus consists of a mould of 150 mm diameter with a base plate and a collar, a loading frame and dial gauges for measuring the penetration values and the expansion on soaking. If a soaked (wet) measurement is desired, the specimen in the mould is soaked in water for four days
and the swelling and water absorption values are noted. The surcharge weight is placed on the top of the specimen in the mould and the assembly is placed under the plunger of the loading frame. Load is applied on the sample by a standard plunger with diameter 50 mm at the rate of 1.25 mm/min. A load penetration
curve is drawn. The load values on standard crushed stones are 1,370 kgf (13.44 kN) and 2,055 kgf (20.15 kN) at 2.5 mm and 5.0 mm penetrations respectively. The CBR value is expressed as a percentage of the actual load causing the penetrations of 2.5 mm or 5.0 mm to the standard loads mentioned above. The
CBR can therefore be mathematically expressed as: C B R = p p s ⋅ 100 % {\displaystyle CBR={\frac {p}{p_{s}}}\cdot 100\%} p {\displaystyle p\quad } = measured pressure for site soils [N/mm2] p s {\displaystyle p_{s}\quad } = pressure to achieve equal penetration on standard soil [N/mm2] The area of the standard piston
is 3.04 in2, so the results are sometimes converted to pounds per square inch by dividing by 3. References ^ California Bearing Ratio Test ^ Boddie, Francis. "CBR Testing UK". cbrtesting.com.

that required for the corresponding penetration of a standard material. The California Bearing Ratio Test (CBR Test) is a penetration test developed by California State Highway Department (U.S.A.) for evaluating the bearing capacity of subgrade soil for design of flexible pavement. Tests are carried out on natural or
compacted soils in water soaked or un-soaked conditions and the results so obtained are compared with the curves of standard test to have an idea of the soil strength of the subgrade soil. 2. Apparatus: 3. CBR Test Procedure: Normally 3 specimens each of about 7 kg must be compacted so that their compacted
densities range from 95% to 100% generally with 10, 30 and 65 blows. Weigh of empty mould Add water to the first specimen (compact it in five layer by giving 10 blows per layer) After compaction, remove the collar and level the surface. Take sample for determination of moisture content. Weight of mould + compacted
specimen. Place the mold in the soaking tank for four days (ignore this step in case of unsoaked CBR. Take other samples and apply different blows and repeat the whole process. After four days, measure the swell reading and find %age swell. Remove the mould from the tank and allow water to drain. Then place the
specimen under the penetration piston and place surcharge load of 10lb. Apply the load and note the penetration load values. Draw the graphs between the penetration (in) and penetration load (in) and find the value of CBR. Draw the graph between the %age CBR and Dry Density, and find CBR at required degree of
compaction. 4. California Bearing Ratio Test Data - Observations & Calculations 5. Graphs 6. Uses and Significance of California Bearing Ratio Test: The CBR test is one of the most commonly used methods to evaluate the strength of a sub grade soil, sub base, and base course material for design of thickness for
highways and airfield pavement. The California bearing ratio test is penetration test meant for the evaluation of subgrade strength of roads and pavements. The results obtained by these tests are used with the empirical curves to determine the thickness of pavement and its component layers. This is the most widely used
method for the design of flexible pavement. This instruction sheet covers the laboratory method for the determination of C.B.R. of undisturbed and remolded /compacted soil specimens, both in soaked as well as un-soaked state. California Bearing Ratio Test (CBR Test) Video Let us know in the comments what you think
about the concepts in this article! CBR Testing (California Bearing Ratio) is primarily undertaken to provide data for road pavement design. It was first developed by the California State Highway Department.It is a penetration test which is used to evaluate the subgrade strength primarily of roads, pavements and
foundations.The CBR test often forms part of the overall site investigation and is useful for determining the thickness of materials needed for the proposed construction.How does a CBR Test work? A CBR Test works by testing the pressure required to penetrate a soil sample with a plunger of the standard area and
measuring this.This measurement is divided by the pressure needed to achieve an equal penetration on a standard, high quality crushed rock material. The harder the surface, the higher the CBR value.The CBR test can be carried out on soils with a maximum particle size of 20mm. Tests are most usually undertaken at
surface level or at depths of between 500-1000m, most commonly in 20-30mm intervals along the proposed construction centreline.On a typical site with prepared surfaces, multiple CBR tests are usually undertaken in a day by a single operator. Provisional results are often available on site.When Do you Need a CBR
Test? Pavement Design CBR testing is undertaken for the design of highways and housing estate roads to determine the strength of the subgrade soil and enable appropriate selection of suitable pavement thickness for the anticipated traffic density together with any precautions for frost heave.Foundation Design The
purpose of foundations is to transfer loads from a structure to competent soil/rock. They come in the form of traditional shallow spread foundations (strips, pads and rafts) or deep foundations (piles and ground improvement). The main factors influencing foundation design is the stability of the underlying ground and
settlement.Foundation depths will be influenced by the strength of the ground, seasonal moisture variations, the effects of tree roots, frost action, river erosion, groundwater elevation and buried structures / ground disturbance.How Can EMS Geotech Help? EMS Geotech can provide a quick indicative assessment of
subgrade CBR using a TRL Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP) or MEXE Cone (SACP) apparatus.The TRL DCP is generally suitable for granular mixed soils and the SACP is suitable for fine grained soils.For more accurate measurements for in-situ CBRs, EMS are able to provide (via a specialist testing laboratory)
vehicle mounted plate load testing.EMS Geotech can provide preliminary recommendations regarding the type and depth of foundation, bearing capacity of underlying soils and settlements to aid with design. The California Bearing Ratio or CBR test is performed in construction materials laboratories to evaluate the
strength of soil subgrades and base course materials. Those who design and engineer highways, airport runways and taxiways, parking lots, and other pavements rely on CBR test values when selecting pavement and base thicknesses.CBR Test MethodsThe laboratory test method in ASTM D1883 and AASHTO T 193
for the CBR test is a simple empirical method, comparing resistance to penetration of the test specimen to that of a “standard” sample of well-graded crushed stone material using a standard-sized piston. The test does not characterize any soil properties aside from resistance to penetration. The Florida Department of
Transportation developed a modified version of this method as the FM 5-515 Limerock Bearing Ratio (LBR) Test.CBR testing can also be performed in-place on soil subgrades with an apparatus using the same size penetration piston or with the dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP). ASTM D4429 is often used as an
exploratory test to determine in-place conditions of soils or bases or to confirm laboratory test results. This blog post will discuss the laboratory and field CBR methods, along with the DCP.Why CBR Test Is ImportantIn the early 1900s, economic development drove the demand for more miles of better-quality roads, which
in turn resulted in increased road traffic. In 1928 and 1929, engineers at the California Division of Highways (now Caltrans) developed the CBR test to ensure pavements could be economically constructed and still carry the anticipated axle loads. They established the penetration resistance of ideal crushed-rock base
material as a standard reference to compare against all other soil and base course materials. California officially adopted the CBR test in 1935, and it is now a standard method in ASTM, AASHTO, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), British Standards, and others. CBR values are recognized as integral to pavement
and runway design by state Departments of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Extensive use of the California Bearing Ratio over a long period and information gained from field correlations have established its reliability for pavement design.CBR Test
ProcedureCBR Laboratory Test PreparationSample preparation takes up most of the time required for testing CBR samples in the geotechnical laboratory. Materials proposed for the project are sampled and processed in the laboratory into a series of test specimens.Preparation takes place using the same or similar
steps found in method C of ASTM D698 or D1557 (AASHTO T 99 and T 180) moisture/density relationship (Proctor) tests. The specifier of the CBR test may request changes to the dry density of the specimens. Changing the required number of blow counts will adjust the dry density. Spacer discs, surcharge weights,
and other apparatus to measure expansion are also necessary.The test mostly applies to cohesive materials with maximum particle sizes less than 19 mm (0.75 in) but can also be used to evaluate the strength of granular soils and aggregates. For most methods, three to five samples are prepared and soaked for a
period before the penetration test. The prepared test specimens are positioned in a load frame and subjected to regulated penetration loads from a piston with a surface area of 3in² (1,935mm²). Loads are recorded at specified penetration intervals and plotted graphically.Several variations in sample preparation test
methods are possible in the CBR test. Test methods can include a single sample tested at optimum water content (as determined by ASTM D698 or D1557), a series of three test specimens at optimum water content tested at different maximum dry unit weights, or the testing of each sample used in the development of a
compaction curve. The two latter methods may also require compaction of several samples with different blow counts to adjust the final density of the sample materials. Selected test protocol should be clearly understood by all stakeholders, and especially the testing lab before preparation begins.Soaked CBR Test
SpecimensSoaking accounts for adverse moisture conditions from potential rainfall or flooding, and most CBR tests use this procedure. In addition to the compaction process, preparation usually involves soaking each specimen in water for 96 hours before the penetration test.During the soaking period, a surcharge load
of 10lbf (4.54kg) or more must be placed on the sample using surcharge weights to simulate the weight of the pavement and other loads specified. The soil swell resulting from soaking must be measured using expansion measuring apparatus and swell plates placed on the sample before penetration testing. It takes a
significant amount of time to prepare multiple compacted specimens for a single test. Complete CBR testing sets containing multiple CBR molds and components are available to maximize testing productivity and efficiency.Note: Unsoaked tests are not unusual in areas where rainfall amounts and the local water table are
both low.CBR Penetration TestFor penetration testing, the sample remains in the mold. With the perforated plate and the specified surcharge weights in place on the soil, the piston is seated against the test sample, and loading commences at a rate of 0.05in (12.7mm) per minute. As the piston penetrates the soil, test
loads are recorded at eleven specified depths up to 0.500in (13mm).Penetrations vs. load values are plotted on a graph and corrected following the procedure specified in the test standard. Corrected stress values from penetration depths of 0.100 and 0.200in (2.54 and 5.08mm) are divided by standard stresses of
1,000psi (6.9mPa) and 1,500psi (10.3mPa), then multiplied by 100. In most cases, CBR values decrease as penetration increases. The CBR value is the stress at the 0.100in (2.54mm) penetration depth. Occasionally, the ratio at the 0.200in (5.08mm) penetration depth is higher than the 0.100in depth, and the test must
be rerun. If the check test shows similar results, the stress from the 0.200in penetration depth is the reported CBR.Field CBR TestField CBR testing is performed in-place on soil subgrades to determine in-place conditions of soils and bases or to confirm laboratory test results. The ASTM D4429 test method requires
special CBR field equipment for loading. Soil saturation can be controlled in the laboratory but not in the field, so it is difficult to make a direct correlation between the two types of tests.Note: This is a withdrawn ASTM standard that will be reinstated soon as a new or revised test method.DCP TestThe Dynamic Cone
Penetrometer (DCP) is another field test and often used to estimate in-place CBR values. ASTM D6951 outlines the requirements to use this test method for pavement design applications, and the measured values are widely accepted.DCP test equipment is more portable and generally easier to set up in remote
locations than the apparatus for field CBR. With this method, a cone-shaped point is driven with a sliding hammer down through soil layers, measuring penetration resistance. The DCP can also be used to characterize soil strata and relative strengths to a depth of 39in (1M) or more.CBR ValuesCalifornia bearing ratios of
field tests represent in-situ strengths of the material under existing field conditions and will not typically correlate with laboratory CBR values of the same material. Saturation levels are near 100% for soaked laboratory samples. Field materials are often less than 80% saturated and, therefore, more resistant to
penetration. The significance and use sections in the standard test methods give detailed guidance for interpretation. The chart below provides a rough idea of what to expect for laboratory and field CBR values of different soil types.CBR Testing EquipmentCBR Lab Equipment (ASTM D1883):A good quality laboratory
load frame with a capacity of 10,000lbf (44.5kN) or more that can operate at a strain rate of 0.05in (1.3mm) per minute is suitable for CBR penetration testing.Outfit the load frame with CBR Testing Components for load and displacement measurement, it will be ready to perform accurate, repeatable tests.CBR Data

to provide enough resistance to load the piston.Field CBR Test Apparatus are various components positioned against a reaction load, such as a heavy truck or weighted framework, which applies force to the penetration piston through extension rods selected for proper spacing. Surcharge plates simulate loads from
overlying materials, and a support bridge isolates the dial gauge to avoid interference from loads in the test area.2-speed or 3-speed Rotary JackConnectors and Extension Rods10lb and 20lb Field Surcharge PlatesSupport Bridge1x0.001in Mechanical Dial IndicatorDCP Test Equipment (ASTM D6951):Dynamic Cone
Penetrometer Set (with a single or dual-mass hammer) consists of drive rods and cone-shaped tips tapered to a point at a 60° angle. A sliding drop hammer mounted on the rods forces the cones to penetrate the soil layers, and the number of hammer blows per increment of penetration indicates penetration resistance.
