What is the CBR value for sub grade in rigid pavement road construction?
Defect Liability period is a particular amount of time given to the contractor after the completion of a project to check if the project is delivered in good shape, whereby if any defects be detected, the contractor is to fix the defect for free during the defect liability period.

Rigid pavements because of their nature, allow for a larger variation in subgrade material (in terms of strength), unlike flexible pavements. That is why rigid pavements can be built over almost any kind of soils with appropriate ground improvement. The general range for CBR is 2% to 14% or 15%. IfRead more

The general range for CBR is 2% to 14% or 15%. If it is found below 6%, then the code specifies some necessary subgrade improvement before laying the concrete slab directly over it.
Also, the CBR could be increased up to say 40% or 50% by ground improvement, and still, the subgrade may be fit for rigid pavements.
