Topic: Correlation of CBR Tests with Field Plate Load Tests

Abstract: California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test and Plate Load test is relatively a test that is commonly used as a strength indicator of the subgrade soil, sub-base and base coarse material that is useful in designing the thickness of flexible pavement. The main objective of this research is to correlate CBR tests to evaluate modulus of elasticity of soils and compare the results with lab plate load test as well as available field plate load tests. The soils that have been choose for this research is a sandy type soil. Some experiment will be conduct according to the type of soil which will help this research to reach the goals.
