§ 151.135 STREET CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS.
   Street construction design is based upon the California bearing ratio, hereinafter referred to as “CBR”, value of the soil sub-grade. Where more than one soil type of varying CBR value occurs on the proposed street, design shall be made on the basis of the lowest CBR. While actual on-site testing is recognized as a proper method of determining CBR values, the use of soil types may be utilized in lieu of on-site testing as a satisfactory substitute. For purpose of street construction standards, Table 9 below shows three classifications of soil with its engineering design calculation.
