California Bearing Ratio

[kxa]

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.

See "California Bearing Ratio (CBR) Correlation Charts", which was contributed by member BigH. It is on this page of my website

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