STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

California Bearing Ratio = (Force per Unit Area/Force Per Unit Area Standard)
CBR = (F/F_s)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

California Bearing Ratio - California Bearing Ratio is used as a measure of the quality of strength of a soil that underlies a pavement.
Force per Unit Area - (Measured in Pascal) - Force per Unit Area is the distribution of force within a material or structure per unit area.
Force Per Unit Area Standard - (Measured in Pascal) - Force Per Unit Area Standard is required for corresponding penetration of a standard material.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Force per Unit Area: 3 Newton per Square Meter --> 3 Pascal (Check conversion here)

What is California Bearing Ratio?

The California Bearing Ratio test is a penetration test used to evaluate the subgrade strength of roads and pavements. The results of these tests are used with the curves to determine the thickness of pavement and its component layers. This is the most widely used method for the design of flexible pavement.

How to Calculate California Bearing Ratio for Strength of Soil that Underlies Pavement?

California Bearing Ratio for Strength of Soil that Underlies Pavement calculator uses California Bearing Ratio = (Force per Unit Area/Force Per Unit Area Standard) to calculate the California Bearing Ratio, The California Bearing Ratio for Strength of Soil that Underlies Pavement formula is defined as the strength and bearing capacity of the soil. Higher CBR values suggest stronger soils with better load-bearing capabilities, which are suitable for supporting pavement structures. California Bearing Ratio is denoted by CBR symbol.

How to calculate California Bearing Ratio for Strength of Soil that Underlies Pavement using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for California Bearing Ratio for Strength of Soil that Underlies Pavement, enter Force per Unit Area (F) & Force Per Unit Area Standard (F_s) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the California Bearing Ratio for Strength of Soil that Underlies Pavement calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.5 = (3/6).

FAQ

What is California Bearing Ratio for Strength of Soil that Underlies Pavement?

The California Bearing Ratio for Strength of Soil that Underlies Pavement formula is defined as the strength and bearing capacity of the soil. Higher CBR values suggest stronger soils with better load-bearing capabilities, which are suitable for supporting pavement structures and is represented as CBR = (F/F_s) or California Bearing Ratio = (Force per Unit Area/Force Per Unit Area Standard). Force per Unit Area is the distribution of force within a material or structure per unit area & Force Per Unit Area Standard is required for corresponding penetration of a standard material.
