California Bearing Ratio Test Apparatus

Listing ID #3956382

California Bearing Ratio Test Apparatus, Field Type (AIM 155)

This apparatus, mounted on a rolled steel joist cantilevered from the back of the truck or fitted to the underside of a mobile frame, can be used to determine the bearing ratio (generally known as the California Bearing ratio) of soils quickly and efficiently for the evaluation of strengths of sub-grade & bases for roads & runway pavements.This method of testing in-situ, using piston penetration, is useful for determining the load carrying capacity in the field, when the in-place density and water contents are such that the degree of saturation is 80% or greater, when the material is coarse grained and cohesionless so that it is not affected by changes in the water content when the material has been in-place.
