5.0 Analysis Data and Calculation

The document presents results from a CBR (California Bearing Ratio) test conducted on 3 soil samples. Tables show sample properties like dry density, water content, and number of blows. Load and penetration data from the CBR test is also displayed. A graph plots the load versus penetration for each sample. Calculations determine the CBR percentage for sample 1 based on standard stresses at 2.5mm and 5mm penetrations. Finally, a graph shows the relationship between CBR percentage and dry density for the 3 samples.

CALCULATIONS (For Sample 1)

Volume of soil sample, v = πr2 h


= π × (7.575)2 ×12.70
= 2289.39 cm3

Wet density, γ = (W2-W1)/ V

= (9.24 kg – 4.27 kg) / 2289.39 cm³

= 2.166 g/cm³

Water content, W = (B – C) / (C – A) * 100%

= (100.0 g – 97.1 g) / (97.1 g – 46.2 g) *100%

= 2.9g / 50.9g *100%

= 5.69% 0.0569

Dry density, γd = γ/ (1+ W)

= 2.166 g/cm³ / (1+0.0569)

= 2.04 g/cm³

CALCULATION CBR (%) (For Sample 1)

CBR 2.5mm = (Test unit stress / standard unit stress) x 100%

= (1.316 kN / 13.2 kN) x 100%

= 9.97 %

CBR 5.0mm = (Test unit stress / standard unit stress) x 100%

= (4.420 kN / 20 kN) x 100%

= 22.1 %

CBR = (CBR 2.5mm + CBR 5.0mm) / 2

= (9.97 + 22.1) /2

= 16.40 %
