Highlights• CBR and shear strength of subgrade soil were found experimentally • The effect of the water content on CBR and shear strength of subgrade soil • A new correlation is proposed between CBR and shear strength values • Prediction of CBR using the Hand Vane Shear test and existing correlations • Comparison between experimental results and existing correlations
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
