ATTERBERG LIMITS TEST INTRODUCTION: The Atterberg limits are a basic measure of the nature of a finegrained soil. Depending on the water content of the soil, it may appear in four states: solid, semisolid, plastic and liquid. In each state the consistency and behavior of a soil is different and thus so are its engineering properties.

A fine grained soil can exist in any of several states of consistency. The state of consistency and the behavior of any particular soil depend primarily upon the amount of water present in the soilwater system. In 1911, A. Atterberg defined the boundaries of four (4) states of consistency, in terms of limits.
on geological origin and simpler index tests such as Atterberg limits. In planning stages, they provide valuable estimates of structural properties for analysis. It further allows verification of structural test results when become available as to their reasonableness in comparison to the historical data.
§ Atterberg limit § Spesific gravity § Seive analysis § Compaction test Further testing is done by mixing 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% with lime on clay and soaked CBR testing done and unsoaked to determine the bearing capacity and swelling potential of soil policy. 3. Results and Discussion
To achieve this objective, Atterberg limits test (including PL, LL, and PI) was conducted on both natural soils and different lime, fly ash, and lime/fly ashsoil mixtures, for the three studied soils according to consistency test of DIN 18 1221.
Plastic Limit Test. The plastic limit can easily be found by rolling a small soil sample into thin threads until it crumbles. The water content at which the threads break at approximately 3 mm in diameter is the plastic limit. Two or more tests are made and the average water content is taken as plastic limit.
Atterberg Limits Test on Soil. To measure the critical water content of a fine grained soil, Atterberg provided 3 limits which exhibits the properties of fine grained soil at different conditions. The limits are liquid limit, plastic limit and shrinkage limit. These limits are calculated by individual tests as follows. Liquid Limit Test on Soil
Determine Liquid Limit of Soil Specimen by Casagrande Method The liquid limit of a soil is the water content at which the soil behaves practically like a liquid, but has small shear strength. It flows to close the groove in just 25 blows in Casagrande's liquid limit device.
test can be used on a routine basis for determining the consistency limits of soils. •THE Atterberg limits have been extensively used for identifying engineering proper ties of soils and specifying quality of base courses. Almost all specifications for base course materials set some limits on these constants. To get consistent test results
Figure F1 shows the results of the Atterberg limits tests plotted on a plasticity chart in order to determine the soil classification based on the Unified Soil Classification System ASTM D2487 (ASTM International, 2004a). From this chart, a cohesive soil has high plasticity if it has a liquid limit >50% and low plasticity if the liquid limit is <50%.
Dec 12, 2013· Atterberg 1. Objective Student should be able to:Determine the liquid and plastic limit of soil samples for identification and classification of dried soil. Knowing that the determination of these limits is also used to predict the shear strength and sedimentof soil. 2.
The connection between these three men can be seen in the testing and classification of soil. Atterberg created the liquid and plastic limit tests, and Casagrande later refined them. When Atterberg developed the liquid limit test, it involved placing the soil pat in a porcelain bowl .
The UTEST Manual and Motorized Liquid Limit Apparatus (Casagrande) are used to determine the moisture content at which clay soils pass from plastic to liquid state. The Devices consist of an adjustable crank and cam mechanism, a blow counter and a removable brass cup fitted on the base.
The slope of the first layer is considered as the DCPI value as it is the location from where the sample for CBR test is taken. Accordingly the DCPI value computed for the layer considered is /blow. Figure 43Chart of DCPI CG48. The slope of the data is the DCPI in mm per blow.

This specimen should be close to, but not past, the liquid limit of the soil. 3. Place the prepared soil in a container and let the specimen stand for at least 16 h. Sample Preparation Procedure for Plastic Limit. 1. Select 20g specimen of the same sample used for the preparation for the liquid limit test.
