What is a bearing ratio?

The Bearing Ratio is a fundamental metric in geotechnical engineering, evaluating the strength and load-bearing capacity of subgrade soils or base materials beneath structures like pavements and roads. Specifically, the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test is widely employed to determine this ratio, crucial for construction and infrastructure projects.
