A Laboratory CBR (California Bearing Ratio) Apparatus is used to determine the strength and load-bearing capacity of soil for designing road pavements, runways, and foundations, by measuring the pressure needed to penetrate compacted soil samples under controlled conditions, assessing subgrade quality, and ensuring construction materials meet strength standards. This apparatus helps engineers decide on appropriate pavement thickness, ensuring long-term stability and performance by simulating real-world traffic loads.
