  2. Preconsolidation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preconsolidation_pressure

    Previous stresses and other changes in a soil's history are preserved within the soil's structure. [4] If a soil is loaded beyond this point the soil is unable to sustain the increased load and the structure will break down. [4] This breakdown can cause a number of different things depending on the type of soil and its geologic history.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_bearing_ratio

    The CBR test is a penetration test in which a standard piston, with a diameter of 50 mm (1.969 in), is used to penetrate the soil at a standard rate of 1.25 mm/minute. Although the force increases with the depth of penetration, in most cases, it does not increase as quickly as it does for the standard crushed rock, so the ratio decreases.

  5. Bearing capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_capacity

    The bearing capacity of soil is the maximum average contact pressure between the foundation and the soil which should not produce shear failure in the soil. Ultimate bearing capacity is the theoretical maximum pressure which can be supported without failure; allowable bearing capacity is the ultimate bearing capacity divided by a factor of safety.

    In the UK, the specification for aggregate used as a subbase in the construction of driveways and roads includes MOT Type 1 Stone. The thickness of subbase can range from 75 to 100 mm (3 to 4 in) for garden paths through 100 to 150 mm (4 to 6 in) for driveways and public footpaths, to 150 to 225 mm (6 to 9 in) for heavy used roads, and more for ...
