CBR Chart Report

The document reports the results of a bearing ratio test on a soil sample according to ASTM D 1883-99. It shows that the CBR (California Bearing Ratio) at 95% maximum density is 34.7% for a 0.1 inch penetration. The test measured the penetration resistance, density, moisture content, and swell percentage of the soil sample at different compaction levels and soaking times. The soil is identified as a poorly graded sandy gravel classified as CL-ML with a maximum dry density of 107 pounds per cubic foot and optimum moisture content of 8.4%.
