ladies and gentlemen, I've got some work that i'm trying to finish and there are no civils staff here to help me at the moment. I've got the test results for the CBR that was carried out on one of our sites and i'm looking to find the actual CBR vakue..

I haven't done soil mech' since i was at uni (ooh 3 years ago now) and i wasn't exactly in love with it back then.

I a table with 5 values of moisture content, mean cbr value and dry density. Also have a table of sample conditions (initial mc, max dry density etc) how do i work out the actual CBR value for our site? cheers for any help you may be able to provide, i need it to design the pavement construction for a car park. thanks.
