What Is CBR in Road Construction?
The California Bearing Ratio(CBR), also known as the California bearing ratio test, is a penetration test developed by the California Division of Highways(Caltrans) in the 1930s for evaluating the strength of subgrade soil, other paved areas, and their used materials. It measures soil strength and stiffness as part of road construction projects.
