Product Description:
The California Bearing Ratio Test, (usually called CBR test) is an empirical penetration test for evaluation of mechanical strength of natural ground, subgrades and base courses beneath new carriageway construction. It is to determine the relative bearing ratio and expansion characteristics. It was developed by the California department of transportation before World War II.The test can be performed in the laboratory on prepared samples or in-situ on location. It is important to appreciate that this test, being of an empirical in nature, is valid only for the application for which it was developed i.e., the design of highway base thickness. The basic site test is performed by measuring the pressure required to penetrate soil or aggregate with a plunger of standard area. The measured pressure is then divided by the pressure required to achieve an equal penetration on a standard crushed rock material

Product Description:The compaction factor is defined as the ratio of the mass of the concrete compacted in the compaction factor apparatus to the mass of the fully compacted concrete. It involves dropping a volume of concrete from one hopper to another and measuring the volume of concrete in the final hopper to that of a fully compacted volume. The results of the compaction factor test can be correlated to slump, although the relationship is not linear. This test is difficult to run in the field and is not practical for large aggregates (over 1 inch) Compared to the slump test, the apparatus is bulky and a balance is required to perform measurements.
Specification:The apparatus, consisting of a rigid frame that supports two conical hoppers vertically aligned above each other and mounted above a cylinder. The top hopper is slightly larger than the bottom hopper, while the cylinder is smaller in volume than both hoppers. To perform the test, the top hopper is filled with concrete but not compacted. The door on the bottom of the top hopper is opened and the concrete is allowed to drop into the lower hopper. Once all of the concrete has fallen from the top hopper, the door on the lower hopper is opened to allow the concrete to fall to the bottom cylinder. The excess concrete is carefully struck off the top of the cylinder and the mass of the concrete in the cylinder is recorded. This mass is compared to the mass of fully compacted concrete in the same cylinder achieved with hand rodding or vibration. Complete with the trowel and tamping bar 0-60 cms long X 16mm Dia.

FEATURES:

• Soil model is the combination of soil electronic data and soil physical data input by users, and it is the basis of testing soil parameters in a similar soil characteristic area.
• When making a soil model, EDG is needed to collect electronic signals at different test points (the test point of this soil model is called soil test). Each test point needs to collect an electronic signal. At the same time, sand cone test is needed to obtain the physical characteristics of the soil, such as wet density, dry density and moisture content. The maximum dry density of the soil is measured in the laboratory, and then these data are input into the instrument so that the electronic data can be correlated with the physical data.
• At least three test points (soil test) are required for soil moulding. The more test points, the more representative the soil model will be. Moreover, the larger the density and water content range covered by the test points.
• After the soil model is made, EDG can be used for field test. The test area is the area where the experimenter intends to test and the tested soil has the same physical characteristics.
• A soil model is usually made for each different test area. Different projects need different soil moulds. Once the soil model representing this area is successfully made, the soil characteristics of any test point can be quickly and accurately measured by EDG through field test.
• The actual test is to calculate the physical properties of soil by comparing the electronic data collected from the test points with the soil model.

Product Description:
Shrinkage limit is the maximum water content at which a reduction in water content does not cause an appreciable reduction in volume of the Soil Mass. At shrinkage limit, on further reduction in water, air enters in to the voids of soils and thus keeps the volume constant. The apparatus can be used to determine shrinkage limit and to calculate other shrinkage ratio, shrinkage index and volumetric shrinkage.
