However, its reliance on controlled compaction, extended soaking periods, and specialized laboratory equipment often limits its application during preliminary site investigations. The Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) offers a rapid, cost-effective field alternative, but its practical use requires reliable site-specific correlation equations. This study develops a predictive correlation between DCP penetration index and laboratory CBR values for subgrade soils in Port Sudan, Sudan. Four representative soil samples were collected from distinct urban and quarry locations, classified according to the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and AASHTO standards, and tested using both in-situ DCP (ASTM D6951) and laboratory CBR (ASTM D1883) procedures. Regression analysis yielded a logarithmic correlation model: CBR = 80.773\u221262.653log10(DCP), with a coefficient of determination (R\u00b2) of 0.74 The model confirms a statistically meaningful inverse relationship between DCP penetration and CBR values, demonstrating its utility for rapid field-based strength estimation. While the equation provides a practical tool for preliminary pavement design, further validation across broader soil types, moisture regimes, and compaction states is recommended to enhance generalizability and design reliability.<\/p><p style='text-align:left; direction:ltr;'><strong>Keywords: <\/strong> California Bearing Ratio; Dynamic Cone Penetrometer; Subgrade Characterization;

Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) remains one of the most widely adopted indices for evaluating the load-bearing capacity of subgrade and base materials in road and airfield pavement design. The test quantifies soil shear strength by measuring the pressure required to penetrate a compacted specimen at standardized rates, normalized against crushed aggregate reference values (ASTM D1883, 2021). Despite its engineering reliability, the CBR test is labor-intensive, requires strict moisture-density control, and typically demands 4\u20137 days to complete, making it unsuitable for rapid preliminary assessments or remote site investigations.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">To address these limitations, the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) has gained prominence as a lightweight, in-situ testing device that evaluates soil resistance through dynamic penetration. The DCP records the penetration depth per hammer blow, producing a DCP index (mm\/blow) that correlates inversely with soil stiffness and bearing capacity. Due to its speed, minimal equipment requirements, and direct field applicability, the DCP is increasingly used for quality control, layer differentiation, and rapid strength estimation in pavement engineering (ASTM D6951, 2018).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Numerous empirical correlations between DCP and CBR have been proposed globally; however, these relationships are highly sensitive to soil type, gradation, moisture content, compaction history, and regional geological conditions. Consequently, applying generalized equations to new locations often yields significant prediction errors. In Port Sudan, a rapidly developing coastal city with diverse alluvial and quarry-derived soils, no validated DCP\u2013CBR correlation currently exists in the literature or local design manuals. This gap hinders efficient preliminary pavement design and increases reliance on delayed laboratory testing.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">This study aims to: (1) characterize representative subgrade soils from four locations in Port Sudan using USCS and AASHTO classification systems; (2) conduct paired in-situ DCP and laboratory CBR tests under standardized conditions; and (3) develop a site-specific regression equation to estimate CBR from DCP measurements. The resulting model provides engineers with a practical, time-saving tool for initial site evaluation while highlighting the necessity for expanded regional validation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Materials and Methods<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2.1 Study Area and Soil Sampling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Soil samples were collected from four distinct locations within Port Sudan City, Red Sea State, Sudan:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Sample 1 &amp; 3:<\/strong> Rotana Quarry (southwest of Port Sudan)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sample 2:<\/strong> Sudatel Building site (city center)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sample 4:<\/strong> Farmers Bank Building site (downtown Port Sudan)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sampling was conducted at depths ranging from 2.0 cm to 61.7 cm below existing ground level.

The device comprised an 8 kg hammer dropped from a standard height of 575 mm onto a driving rod connected to a 60\u00b0 conical tip with a 20 mm base diameter.

Penetration resistance was measured at 2.54 mm and 5.08 mm, and the CBR value was calculated as the ratio of test load to standard crushed stone load, expressed as a percentage.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2.5 Data Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Paired DCP and CBR results were plotted to visualize the relationship.

The R\u00b2 value of 0.74 suggests a moderate-to-good fit for preliminary engineering applications, particularly in regions with limited laboratory infrastructure. The remaining 27% unexplained variance likely stems from factors not explicitly controlled in this study, including natural moisture variability, local compaction heterogeneity, and fine content differences among samples.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Compared to generalized equations, the Port Sudan-specific model accounts for regional soil characteristics (coastal alluvial deposits, quarry gravels, and silty\/clayey sands) and local climatic influences. Its practical value lies in enabling rapid field estimation of subgrade strength during early project phases, feasibility studies, and routine quality checks. However, engineers should apply the model within the tested DCP range (4.2\u201314.0 mm\/blow) and avoid extrapolation beyond these bounds.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4.
