Consistency 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 liquid
Plastic limit (wP) - change of consistency from brittle/crumbly to plastic
Measures of liquid and plastic limit values can be obtained from laboratory tests.

Why liquid limit and plastic limit are important?
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 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 ........

What are the principles of limit state method of RCC design?

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 is liquid limit?
The arbitary limit of water content that represents the boundary between the liquid & plastic state is called as liquid limit.
What do the letters LVC mean in soil testing?
LVC typically stands for "liquid limit, plastic limit, and shrinkage limit." These are three key parameters used in soil testing to assess the plasticity and behavior of soil. Liquid limit measures the moisture content at which the soil transitions from plastic to liquid state, plastic limit defines the moisture content at which the soil can be molded, and the shrinkage limit indicates the moisture content at which further drying will not cause the soil to shrink.
Why liquid limit and plastic limit are important?
The Atterberg limits of a soil are used as an integral part of several engineering classification systems to characterize fine-grained soils.

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.

What is plastic limit?
The mass wetness at which the soil stiffens from a plastic to a semi rigid and friable state.it is the water content at which soil begins to crumble on being rolled into thread of 3 mm diameter
