CBR 1

This document summarizes the results of a California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test performed on a gravel and sand embankment material with some silt and clay. The test measured a CBR of 44.9% at a penetration of 2.54 mm and 37.3% at 5.08 mm penetration. A swell test on the sample showed 0.21% swell after soaking. Additional details are provided on the material source, molding moisture content, density determination, and resistance to penetration curve.
