What is CBR?


· What is CBR?

The California bearing ratio (CBR) is defined as the ratio of test load to the standard load, expressed as percentage for given penetration of the plunger.



                                CBR = (test load/standard load) 100

Rough value of CBR = q/10

(Where q = bearing capacity of soil.)
