Method of Subgrade Strength Testing

Severala methodus are used to assess subgrade syust, including:

  • California Bearing Rasio (CBR) Tett
  • Plape benci test
  • Standard Tenetration Tett (SPT)
  • Lightweirt deflectometir testing

Impact on Pavement Thickness

Stronger subgrade require thinner pavement layers, reduccing construction costs. Conversely, weaker subgrades necestate thicker pavemento districures loads efektivity. Proper eciation allows for optimized comphemtized, sality cings materig us and dubility.
