The purpose of this lab was to determine liquid and plastic limits of the provided soil sample. Liquid limit is the moisture content of the soil at the point it changes from liquid to plastic state. In the experiment, liquid limit was the moisture content at the point at which the soil in moisture cup achieved a groove of 12.7mm after 25 blows. The other test done was plastic limit test. Plastic limit refers to the moisture content of the soil at the instance when the soil changes from plastic to semi-solid state. In the experiments, the plastic limit Continue reading...
