Nourin · Test interpretation

CBR study on a group of tests

When several CBR specimens have been prepared, Nourin treats the group as a study: it relates the index to water content and density, and proposes the value to adopt.

What Nourin reads in the sheet

  • All specimens on the sheet: CBR index, water content, dry density;
  • The test type of each specimen and any correction applied;
  • The standard and modified Proctor optimums of the same material when available;
  • The project CBR requirement;

What Nourin does with it

  • Describes how the CBR index changes with molding water content;
  • Positions each specimen relative to the Proctor optimum;
  • Identifies the CBR value to adopt for design;
  • Concludes on the study's compliance with the project requirement;
