European foreword
This document (EN 13286-47:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 227 “Road
materials”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2022, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by May 2022.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 13286-47:2012.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
— editorial changes;
— a revised Clause 10 that provides more information for the possible force-penetration curves and
where necessary their correction;
— a revised Annex A reflecting the revised Clause 10. The Annex A is normative.

1 Scope
This document 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 document also includes
the determination of vertical swelling of the specimen before the determination of the California
bearing ratio.

The relationship between force and penetration is determined when a cylindrical piston of a standard
cross-sectional area is made to penetrate a specimen of a mixture, contained within a mould, at a given
rate.
The California bearing ratio or immediate bearing index is calcul
