Material Strength
Subgrade Strength/Stiffness
• California Bearing Ratio (CBR)
• Resistance Value (R-Value)
• Resilient Modulus (MR)
• Modulus of Subgrade Reaction (K)
California Bearing Ratio (CBR)
• CBR: California Bearing Ratio Test.
• Developed by The California State Highways
Department in 1930.
• Resistance of the material to uniaxial
penetration.
• Measure of soil shear strength relative to
standard crushed stone material.
• Field and laboratory test.
California Bearing Ratio (CBR)
• Used in Pavement Design
• Performed on unbound layers:



Subgrade layer,
Subbase layer
base layer.
California Bearing Ratio (CBR)
• Load a piston (area = 3 in2) at
a constant rate (0.05 in/min)
• Record Load every 0.1 in
penetration
• Total penetration not to
exceed 0.5 in.
• Draw Load-Penetration
Curve.
CBR Test Equipment
Piston
Surcharge
Weights
•Surcharge weights are added
during testing and soaking to:
• Simulate the weight of
pavement.
Typical Testing Machine
•Prevent heaving up
around the piston.

under laboratory conditions.
Resistance Value (R-Value)
• Developed by California Division of Highways:
1940s
• Measures frictional resistance of granular
material to deformation
• Uses the Hveem Stabilometer
• Tests material in a saturated condition (worst
case scenario

Plate Loading Test
• Measure supporting power of subgrades,
subases, bases and a complete pavement.
• Field test.
• Data from the test are applicable for design of
both flexible and rigid pavements.
• Results might need some corrections.
