    Lab Report On CBR Compaction Test

    Uploaded by

    Muhammad Ishaq
    This lab report summarizes the results of a CBR compaction test. The test was conducted to determine the CBR value of a soil sample at controlled moisture content and in a molded condition. Standard test procedures were followed to compact soil layers in a mold and apply increasing loads to measure penetration. The optimum moisture content was found to be 13.3% and the CBR value was determined to be between 1-3%, indicating the soil sample has characteristics of clay.

    LAB REPORT ON CBR COMPACTION TEST

    (report-2)

    Department of Civil Engineering


    Oklahoma State University

    Submitted by: Under the guidance of:

    G.Sai Venkateswarlu Yang, Xiaoming, Ph.D.,P.E.


    CWID: 11761167

    Date(15-03-2015)
    OBJECTIVE

    To find the CBR value of the soil in controlled moisture content and in molded
    conditions.

    SCOPE

    CBR test is widely used for the design of flexible pavement, thickness of the
    pavement. It helps to find the strength of the subgrade, sub-base, base course.
    It gives a parameter which can enable a designer to estimate the loads that can
    be taken by the soil.

    EQUIPMENT USED:

    Compression machine
    Dial gauge
    Timer
    Rammer
    Spatula
    Beaker
    Split mould
    Vernier caliper
    Balance
    Sampling boxes
    Micro wave oven
    Mixing tray

    PREPARATRION SAMPLE

    Disturbed sample.

    TEST STANDARD

    This test is considered from ASTM D1557 .


    TEST PROCEDURE:

    1) Sample of soil to be taken in tray and known amount of water is added.

    2) The weight of mold is to be noted and a layer of soil is placed, it is to be


    rammed with 56 blows.

    3) In similar way another 4 layers are to be placed and each layer is


    rammed for 56 blows.

    4) After filling out the mold the top attachment is to be removed and
    surface is to be leveled.

    5) Weight of the mold is noted.

    5) The mold is placed in compaction machine with a plate at top.

    6) The piston is placed at center and near to the surface of soil.

    7) The readings were noted after the machine starts working.

    8) Readings are to be noted to plot a graph for different moisture content


    values.

    9) A sample of soil is taken in three boxes with lids and weighed.

    10) They are to be placed in oven for a period of 24 hours and should be
    weighed again.
    SAMPLE CALCULATION

    ϒ
    ϒd=
    1+ ŵ

    Avg of moisture content ŵ =13.31

    Bulk density (or) wet density ϒ= weight of compacted soil/volume of mold.

    4613.7/117.8=2.389 gm/cm3

    ϒd= 2.108

    Stress due to piston= load/ area


    =10.6/3=3.533 lb/in2

    CBR 1= 15*100/1000=1.5%
    CBR 2=32*100/1500=2.13%
    Optimum moisture content is at 13.2%.
