Tittle :
California Bearing Ratio (CBR)

OBJECTIVE :
To determine the CBR value for a a soil consideration as a pavement
foundation.This value is a percentage comparison with the standard
crushed rock from California

THEORY :
It is important to realize that the CBR test is one step in the road
pavements foundation design process,the test how the road engineer
to design the capping layer(if needed) and the sub-base layer by
determining the strength of the underlying soil.Engineer can
determine if this strength is adequate to handle the desired road design
or if additional procedure need to be done to increase this strength.

Apparatus :

Loading Machine

Soil Sample

CBR Mould With Collar

4
Surcharge Weight Scales

Tray

Steel Ramming Rod

Measuring Cylinder

PROCUDURE :

 Soil was crushed by using a hammer,after that,the soil was

sieved by using 20mm sieve.

 The soil sample was weight

 The soil was mix and divided by 5

 Weight the mold and put and rub the mold with grease

6
  Place the first portion of soil into the mould and compact it with
the 65 number of blow by using 4.5 rammer and 50mm
diameter.

 The process was repeated until 5 layer are done.Remove the

collar,trim the soil flush with the top of the mould with a scraper
and weight the mould with soil.

Procedure using the CBR machine:

7
  Place the mould with base plate containing the sample with the
top face of the sample exposed,centrally on the lower platen of
the testing machine.
 Place the appropriate annular surcharge discs on top of the
sample.
 Fit into place the cylindrical plunger and force-measuring device
assembly with the face of the plunger resting on the surface of
the sample.Make sure that the proving ring dial gauge is
properly adjusted,that there is no daylight between the bottom of
the stem and the proving ring anvil.
 Apply a seating force to the plunger.
 Record the reading of the force measuring device as the initial
zero reading or reset the force measuring to read zero.
 Secure the penetration dial gauge in position.Record its initial
zero reading or reset it to read zero.Make sure that all
connections between plunger,crosshead,proving ring and
penetration dial gauge assembly are tight.
 Start the test so that the plunger penetrates the sample at the
uniform rate of 1=0.2mm/min,and at the same instant start the
timer.
 Record reading of the force gauge at intervals of penetration of
0.25mm to a total penetration not exceeding 7.0mm.
