The CBR test is fully described in BS1377: Part 9: 1990 Soils for civil engineering purposes. It was first developed by the California State Highway Department and is used in the field as an arbitrary strength test which is considered to stress soils and replicate wheel loads.

The CBR test forms part of the site investigation and is used to determine the thickness of materials needed for the proposed road construction.
