本欧洲标准规定了加利福尼亚承担比率和即时承载指数的实验室测定的测试方法。 这些测试适用于混合物的最大粒径为22.4 mm的部分。 当浸入水中时，作为固化试样的一部分，本欧洲标准还包括确定加利福尼亚承担比之前样品的垂直溶胀度的确定

This European Standard specifies the test methods for the laboratory determination of the California bearing ratio and immediate bearing index. The tests are appropriate to that part of the mixture up to a maximum particle size of 22,4 mm. When immersion in water is specified as part of the curing of the specimen, this European Standard also includes the determination of vertical swelling of the specimen before the determination of the California bearing ratio.
