The Relationship

California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value represents the main soil characteristic factor for paving design of flexible pavements & paving of airport sites. It should be used to determine subgrade modulus of crust soil layer, by using certain correlations. It is a very important engineering parameter for soil condition for design of subgrade of flexible roads. CBR values of soil may be affected by other parameters, like maximum dry density (MDD) & optimum moisture content (OMC), soil types, (coarse material of gravel and sand content), etc. for un-soaked condition of samples. Evaluation of CBR in direct test is a time waste process. This case study was conducted to find out the relationship between CBR values with MDD, ‎OMC,‎ standard penetration test (SPT) and coarse material content of some soil samples collected from the investigated project during 2011 with approximate area about (30) Km2, with Latitude (32.319810o -32.412226o) and Longitude (44.144141o – 44.243775o). A statistical method was used for estimating the relationship between the CBR and MDD, OMC, standard penetration test (SPT) and coarse material content of the soil desiring to obtain a relationship and a formula combining the previous two variables. A reasonable relationship represented by first degree formula was obtained. On the other hand, the time and efforts will be minimized in estimation of CBR instead of the used processing to determine the soil parameter‎.

California Bearing Ratio (CBR) is an important parameter used in designing pavement layers in road construction but testing this parameter requires time, labor, and huge cost. The study therefore applies multivariate approach to evaluate CBR based on contrasted geotechnical parameters along Ilorin-Lokoja highway. The results obtained showed that the migmatite-gneiss-derived soils are slightly more fines (< 0.075 mm; 7.4–59.6%), more plastic (PI; 1.6–39%), and have low strength (MDD = 1.8 mg/m3; CBR = 29.0%) than the metasediments (11–57.7%, 2.0–30%, 1.6 mg/m3, 23.6%) and older granite soils (8.2–32.7%, 2.6–13.4%, 1.7 mg/m3, 27.8%), respectively. The principal component analysis (PCA) revealed three major components (eigenvalues >1) which accounted for 83.8% of the total variance at the rate of 33.4, 14.7, and 11.4%. Major contributing variables for the components were fines (R = 0.87), plasticity index (R = 0.7), and coarse sand (R = 0.67%). Spatial distribution of these groups established interplay of sediment-gradation and moisture-connection evident in hierarchical cluster analysis that revealed patterns of homogeneity and soil relationships. Regression analysis established five models from predictor variables such as fines, activity, free swell, liquid and plastic limits, weighted plasticity index, optimum moisture content, and maximum dry density with the coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.33) and root mean square error (RMSE) of 7.80.

In order to reuse waste soda residue, the feasibility of utilizing liquid soda residue and liquid fly ash to prepare soda residue soil was investigated. The mechanical properties of the soda residue soil were studied and analyzed through laboratory tests and field tests. The raw materials preparation process and liquid-liquid mixing method in the field were determined, and the optimal mixing proportion of the soda residue soil was investigated by compaction test and micro penetration test. And the filling quality of the liquid-liquid mixing and solid-liquid soda residue soil was measured by micro penetration test, light dynamic penetration test, and variable energy dynamic penetration test. The test results showed that the optimal mass ratio of soda residue to fly ash is 7:3. The optimal water content and maximum dry density of the soda residue soil with the optimal mix ratio are 63.5% and 0.88 g/cm3, respectively. After 5 months of natural drying, the soda residue soil filled by liquid soda residue and liquid fly ash has higher strength and better uniformity of hardness. The water content of the soda residue soil is between 160% to 180%, and drainage consolidation is the effective method to reduce the water content and improve the strength of the soda residue soil. Compared with the method of preparing the soda residue soil by solid mixing, the method used in this experiment is simple, efficient and feasible.

During this time to get the value of California Bearing Ratio (CBR) planners will conduct field tests and/or laboratory tests. This takes time and is relatively large. For this reason, it is needed a practical matter or formulation about the relationship between soil parameters so that planners do not need to test the overall soil parameters. This study aims to obtain a graph or correlation of the Plasticity Index (PI) with California Bearing Ratio (CBR) for clay soils in the Palangka Raya region. Clay soil samples were taken at 3 (three) locations in the City of Palangka Raya. Based on the results of tests on several samples obtained the largest CBR value in soil samples from Tangkiling village which reached a value of 6.56%. While the lowest CBR value obtained from the village of Kereng Bengkirai is 3.14%. For the PI value, the biggest value obtained in Bukit Rawi village is the largest, namely 20.54% and the smallest PI value obtained in Tangkiling village is 9.01%. In general, it can be concluded that the CBR value of clay is inversely proportional to the value of PI. Wherein it is known that the greater the CBR value, the smaller the PI value and vice versa. The overall correlation results of the PI value (plasticity index) to the CBR (California Bearing Ratio) obtain the correlation results using the linear graph CBR = -0.28383 PI + 8,9843. While the correlation value based on analytical calculations obtained CBR = -0,3006X + 9,0190. This test shows that the correlation value has a very high relationship when viewed from the benchmark correlation results (R = 0.80-1.00). The results of the correlation value using linear regression graphs worth R = 0.8489 and using analytical correlation methods worth R = 0.9283. So the final result of this study is to look for a relationship between PI values ??and CBR values. Then for the value of R is taken the smallest value that is R = 0.8489.

The study investigate the suitability of subgrade soil in Baure Local Government Area of Kastina State Nigeria for road construction. The strength properties of the  subgrade was improved using lime and cement. Several analysis including the particle size distribution, specific gravity, Atterberg limits, compaction characteristics, unconfined compressive strength and California bearing ratio tests were performed on natural and lime/cement treated soil samples in accordance with BS 1377 (1990) and BS 1924 (1990) respectively. Soil specimens were prepared by mixing the soil with lime and cement in steps of 0, 3, 6, and 9% by weight of dry soil in several percentage combinations. The Atterberg limits of the weak subgrade soils improved having a minimum plasticity index value of 5.70 % at 3%Lime/6%Cement contents. The maximum dry density (MDD) values obtained showed a significant improvement having a peak value of 1.66 kN/m3 at 9%Lime/9%Cement contents. Similarly, a minimum value of 18.50 % was observed for optimum moisture content at 9%Lime/9%Cement contents which is a desirable reduction from a value of 25.00 % for the natural soil. The unconfined compressive test value increased from 167.30 kN/m2 for the natural soil to 446.77 kN/m2 at 9%Lime/9%Cement contents 28 days curing period. Likewise, the soaked California bearing ratio values increased from 2.90 % for the natural soil to 83.90 % at 9%Lime/9%Cement contents. Generally, there were improvements in the engineering properties of the weak subgrade soil when treated with lime and cement. However, the peak UCS value of 446.77 kN/m2 fails to meet the recommended UCS value of 1710 KN/m2 specified by TRRL (1977) as a criterion for adequate stabilization using Ordinary Portland Cement.            Keywords: Weak subgrade soil, Lime, Cement, Atterberg limits, Maximum dry density, Optimum moisture content, Unconfined compressive strength, California bearing ratio

Cbr Test

California Bearing Ratio (CBR) laboratory testing is the conventional method for determining soaked strengths of pavement subgrades. The test requires careful preparation of soil samples followed by four days of water soaking before penetrating the samples using a standard plunger at prescribed rates to set depths. When the number of samples becomes large the determination of soaked CBR values becomes cumbersome as the test is laborious and time consuming. This study aimed at establishing an alternative way of determining soaked CBR by developing a model that would be used for estimating soaked CBR of fine- and coarse- grained soils without performing the CBR test. This has been achieved by correlating CBR values compacted at 95% Maximum Dry Density (MDD) with the soil index properties. The results show that soaked CBR values of fine-grained soils significantly correlate with specific gravity of soil (GS), Plasticity index (PI) and the grading modulus (GM) of the soil that yields a degree of determination of R2 = 0.91 and for coarse grained (A-2 type) soil, the soaked CBR values significantly correlate with specific gravity of soil and percentage of fines passing 0.075mm sieve size that yields a degree of determination of R2= 0.94.

Effect of spent calcium carbide (SCC) on index and strength properties of lateritic soil at differ- ent compactive efforts was assessed in this study as potential means of improving the geotechnical properties of the subsoil as well as disposing of SCC as waste. SCC was admixed with the soil using 0 to 10 % by dry weight of soil at an incremental rate of 2%. The following tests were carried out on the samples: specific gravity, Atterberg limit, particle size distribution, compaction, and California bearing ratio (CBR). Compaction and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests were carried out using British Standard light (BSL), West African Standard (WAS), and British Standard heavy (BSH) on both the natural and stabilized soil samples. From the investigation, atterberg limits show a reduction in the plasticity index with increasing content of SCC. The maximum dry density of the soil decreased with increasing SCC content and increased with an increase in compactive energies (BSL<WAS<BSH), while and optimum moisture content (OMC) increased correspondingly. Also, soaked and unsoaked CBR values of the stabilized lateritic soil showed an increase in strength with higher compactive effort, and SCC content up to 4% SCC addition and after that decreased in value. Based on these results, spent calcium carbide improved the geotechnical properties of this lateritic soil, and 4% SCC is recommended for its stabilization as subgrade material for pavement construction, thereby serving as an effective method of disposing SCC towards promoting a green and sustainable environment.
