What is California Bearing Ratio Test Guide about?

The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test is used to determine the bearing capacity of soil subgrades and base course materials. [1] The test involves measuring the penetration of a piston into a compacted soil sample under increasing loads. [2] The CBR value is calculated by taking the ratio of the load required to penetrate the soil to the standard load required to penetrate a reference material at the same penetration. [3] Higher CBR values indicate soils with greater bearing capacity.
