  2. California bearing ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_bearing_ratio

    The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) is a measure of the strength of the subgrade of a road or other paved area, and of the materials used in its construction. The ratio is measured using a standardized penetration test first developed by the California Division of Highways for highway engineering . [ 1 ]

  3. R-value (soils) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(soils)

    The R-Value test [1] measures the response of a compacted sample of soil or aggregate to a vertically applied pressure under specific conditions. This test is used by Caltrans for pavement design, replacing the California bearing ratio test. Many other agencies have adopted the California pavement design method, and specify R-Value testing for ...

    The shrinkage limit is also a part of the Atterberg limits. The results of this test can be used to help predict other engineering properties. [7] California bearing ratio ASTM D 1883. A test to determine the aptitude of a soil or aggregate sample as a road subgrade. A plunger is pushed into a compacted sample, and its resistance is measured.

  6. Cone penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_penetration_test

    The test method consists of pushing an instrumented cone, with the tip facing down, into the ground at a controlled rate (controlled between 1.5 -2.5 cm/s accepted). The resolution of the CPT in delineating stratigraphic layers is related to the size of the cone tip, with typical cone tips having a cross-sectional area of either 10 or 15 cm 2 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:California_bearing_ratio

    In this report the CBR-method (California Bearing Ratio) is primarily referred to. The so-called CBR-value represents the ratio of the percentage of the loads required to press a punch of certain dimensions first into a well compacted sample of soil and then into a standard sample of compacted gravels, to a depth of 0.1 inch.

  8. Mayo Clinic Diet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayo_Clinic_Diet

    The legitimate Mayo Clinic Diet does not promote a high protein or "key food" approach. There have been diets falsely attributed to Mayo Clinic for decades. [ 3 ] Many or most web sites claiming to debunk the bogus version of the diet are actually promoting it or a similar fad diet.

  9. Rolling contact fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_contact_fatigue

    Overview of bearing components, including bearing element and inner ring [1] Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) is a phenomenon that occurs in mechanical components relating to rolling/sliding contact, such as railways, gears, and bearings. [2] It is the result of the process of fatigue due to rolling/sliding contact.
