The Atterberg limits of a soil are used as an integral part of several engineering classification systems to characterize fine-grained soils. Also these limits are used directly in specifications for controlling soil for use in fills, and in semi-empirical methods of design. A wide variety of engineering properties of soils have also been correlated to the liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index of soils (i.e. Compressibility, Permeability, and Strength).

What is the consistency of soil at liquid limit and Plastic Limit?
zerozeroConsistency limits and plasticityConsistency varies with the water content of the soil. The consistency of a soil can range from (dry) solid to semi-solid to plastic to liquid (wet). The water contents at which the consistency changes from one state to the next are called consistency limits (or Atterberg limits).Two of these are utilised in the classification of fine soils:Liquid limit (wL) - change of consistency from plastic to liquidPlastic limit (wP) - change of consistency from brittle/crumbly to plasticMeasures of liquid and plastic limit values can be obtained from laboratory tests.
What is the degree of saturation at plastic limit?
more than 100%(over saturated but saturation is 100%) .....because shrinkage limit is smallest water content at which soil is saturated......means at shrinkage limit itself it posses 100% saturation ........
IS limit for silt content in sand?
IS limit for silt in sand is 15to 35
Difference between ultimate strength design and working stress design?
Working stress method of design based on the elastic theory in which materials, concrete and steel are assumed to be stressed well below their elastic limit under the design loads. Working stressess (permissible stress) for the materials are determined by dividing the ultimate or yield stressess by suitable factor of safety values. Limit state method of design based on limit state concept, te structure shall be designed to withstand safely all loads liable to act on it throughout its life;It shall also satisfy the serviceability requirements, such as limitations on deflection and cracking. The acceptable limit for the safety and serviceability requirements before failure occurs is called a "limit state". The aim of design is to achieve acceptable probabilities that the structure will not become unfit for the use for which is intended, that is that it will not reach a limit state...
What are the principles of limit state method of RCC design?
in reinforced concrete design
What is liquid limit?
The arbitary limit of water content that represents the boundary between the liquid & plastic state is called as liquid limit.

What are the equations between plastic limit and liquid limit?
The Liquid Limit can be tested for (see wikipedia) in different ways. One is with a liquid limit device you can use the equation LL=(W^n)*(N/25)^0.121 where w is the water content and N is the number of times the device was cranked
Define properties of soil soil elements?
soil properties basically is the void ratio, porosity, specific gravity, dry unit weight, saturated unit weight, liquid limit, plastic limit and shrinkage limit which play a important role to support load.
Is plastic solid gas or liquid?
Plastic is solid.
What is the value of Liquid limit for black cotton soil found in India?
liquid limit value of bc soil in india
Why plastic is solid?
because plastic is not liquid so thats why plastic is solid
What is the age limit for liquid in ipswich?
the age limit is 18's and over
What type of plastic is a washing up liquid bottle made of?
plastic
What are the ingredients for liquid bandage?

What are plastic lures made of?
Soft Plastic Lures are made of liquid plastic that is heated and then cooled to set.
