Is there any corelation between CBR and other soil load bearing tests?
 
A CBR is a $150.00 test (well you also need a Proctor). I'd just do the CBR test and move on with the pavement design. One fringe benefit is there is a correlation between CBR and subgrade modulus, which can be helpful for the Structural design of industrial floor slabs.

This is the same correlation that I use. Nice job hosting that at your web site!
