چکیده

1.1 Background The California Bearing ratio (CBR) test has been widely used in pavement design since mid 1940’s. It is a relative measure of subgrade soil or base/subbase aggregate strength. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has been using its own Virginia Test Method-8 (VTM-8) to perform CBR testing. On the other hand, private industry and other DOT’s are using AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) test method (T 193) to measure CBR. Although there are some differences between these two test procedures, both of them measure the same soil property.

Effects of Aggregate Gradation on Resilient Modulus and CBR in Unbound Granular Materials

Resilient modulus and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) in unbound granular materials are the key technical characteristics of layers in a flexible pavement design. Among the factors affecting these two parameters, the aggregate gradation is the most important. Using particle size distribution curve developed by AASHTO, together with other considerations mentioned in the related regulations have y...

The Correlation between the CBR and Shear Strength in Unsaturated Soil Conditions

 In pavement design, the CBR and direct shear tests are two very common laboratory investigations for predicting the strength of a subgrade layer. The relationship between the CBR and water content has been commonly presented in analyses, with the result of the direct shear being expressed from the aspect of effective cohesion and the internal friction angle. Even though most natural soil is in...
