Corelation between CBR and Field Density Test (Troxler)
Corelation between CBR and Field Density Test (Troxler)
(OP)
I am looking for the correlation between CBR test (Field Test) and the Field density Test by using the nuclear gauge meter (Troxler)

Plot the density on your curve, that will tell you the CBR value.

In general, a cohesive fill will have a CBR of around 2.5% when the density = 95% of the MDD from a 2.5kg rammer on the wet side, but it could be greater than 5% when it is dryer than this. Therefore the CBR vs degree of compaction is not linear, you have to account for the moisture of the material especially when the soil is cohesive.
