CBR Tester refers to a machine used to determine the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of soil, which is a measure of its ability to support a load. The CBR test is widely used in civil engineering to evaluate the strength and load-bearing capacity of soils and other materials used in road construction and foundation design. The CBR Tester applies a load to a soil sample at a specific rate of deformation and measures the resulting resistance or penetration of the sample.
The test results are used to determine the CBR value of the soil, which is expressed as a percentage of the standard value for crushed rock. This information is used by engineers to design and construct roads, foundations, and other structures that can withstand the load and pressure placed upon them.
