Interpretation of results.
- Correlations have been established by various agencies between DCP value and the
CBR values, so that the results can be compared and later used for pavement design.
- Correlations have also been established between the rate of penetration and the resilient
modulus of the soil layers.
- The DCP may also be used to check the quality of construction at the site.
- The penetration rate per blow is used to estimate the CBR value or the shear strength
using appropriate correlation.
- The general equation recommended by some of the organizations are given below:
- US Corps of the Engineers: For all soils except for CL and CH soils having CBR value
less than 10%.
- CBR = (292)/(DCP)^1.12
Where, DCP is the penetration per blow
- For CL soils with CBR < 10,
CBR = 1/(0.017019×DCP)
