Laboratory California Bearing Ratio Test Apparatus
Product Code : JA-ST-9812
The Laboratory California Bearing Ratio Test Apparatus (SKU JA-ST-9812) is used for the CBR test, an empirical penetration test that gives the relative bearing ratio and the expansion of base, sub-base and sub-grade soils under a known surcharge weight. Results feed the selection of pavement materials and the control of sub-grades for roads, pavements and runways, chiefly for highway base thickness design.

Frequently asked questions
What does the CBR test measure?
It gives the relative bearing ratio and the expansion characteristics of base, sub-base and sub-grade soils under a known surcharge weight.
Is the CBR result valid for any design?
Being empirical, it is valid only for the purpose it was developed for, the design of highway base thickness.
