1. This document reports on a California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test conducted in the Civil Engineering laboratory at the University of Raparin. The CBR test determines the shear strength and load-bearing capacity of soils. 2. Two soil samples were tested and their CBR, density, and load-penetration graphs were calculated. The CBR values ranged from 30-50% depending on the penetration level. 3. There were some errors in the experiment due to issues with weighing the soil samples accurately and problems with the testing machine. However, the test provided useful information about the soil strengths and was a valuable learning experience for the students.
