1 SCOPE This Standard sets out the procedure for the field-in-place or in situ
determination of the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of a soil. The method is applicable
to both fine-grained and medium-grained soils as defined in AS 1289.0.

3 APPARATUS The following apparatus is satisfactory but alternative designs may be
employed provided that the essential requirements of the apparatus are met and the test
procedure is followed:
(a) Steel penetration piston of a 49.6 ±0.1 mm diameter over the length of the
penetration and at least 150 mm long. The length of the piston will depend upon the
number of surcharges and the depth of penetration required. Suitable extensions may
be required.
