The principle of In-situ California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of soil is to cause a cylindrical plunger to penetrate the soil at a given rate and comparing the relationship between force and penetration into the soil to that for a standard material. At certain values of penetration the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) is defined in the form of a percentage, as the ratio of the force exerted on the soil to a standard force that would be exerted on a specified crushed rock compacted and confined in a given manner. |
