The value calculated from equation 8 (CBR1) is an estimate of the soaked CBR. For well
drained conditions this should be corrected for probable field moisture conditions by
multiplying by the rainfall correction factor shown in Figure 6. Rainfall distribution throughout
Western Australia is shown in Figure 5.
The calculated CBR method should only be used in those regions of the state where
experience with local soil and environmental conditions has verified its appropriateness. As a
general guide it should not be used for projects located north of latitude 26S without specific
investigation and verification.
