EKE 15501  Loading Jack, with U-bracket, capacity 50 kN (5,000 kgf). This is specially designed for use with Field CBR test apparatus. It consists of a hand operated, two speed, screw jack fitted with a U-bracket. A hexagonal adapter is provided to fix a proving ring. A thrust bar, which passes through the U-bracket, is screwed on to a proving ring (supplied at extra cost) which protects the proving ring when the loading is eccentric

The use of the in-situ CBR apparatus in large road construction projects has increased considerably in recent years. This apparatus, mounted on a rolled steel joist cantilevered from the back of the truck or fitted to the underside of a mobile frame, can be used to determine the bearing capacity of soils quickly and efficiently. This method of testing in-situ, using piston penetration, is useful for determining the load carrying capacity in the field, when the in-place density and water contents are such that the degree of saturation is 80% or greater, when the material is coarse grained and cohesionless so that it is not affected by changes in the water content and when the material has been in-place.
