CBR testing involves compacting a soil sample within a mould under specified conditions of moisture and density. A plunger is then used to apply a load to the soil at a controlled rate. The test measures the pressure required to penetrate the soil with the plunger at a specific depth and compares it to the pressure needed to penetrate a standard material, usually crushed stone.
