This paper reviews the percussion-cup liquid limit, thread-rolling plastic limit (PL) and
various fall-cone and other approaches employed for consistency limit determinations on …

Liquid and plastic limits, abbreviated respectively as LL and PL, are obtained through the
Casagrande cup method or the fall-cone tests. In the past several correlations between the …

For liquid limit determination, the European Standards require the cone penetrometer
technique or, alternatively, the Casagrande cup method; but the latter is widely used in …

Spagnoli, G. 2012. Comparison between Casagrande and drop-cone methods to calculate
liquid limit for pure clay. Can. J. Soil Sci. 92: 859–864. During the construction of …

This paper presents effects of particle size distribution and plasticity on geotechnical
properties of sand-clay mixtures. Two different clay types (kaolinite and bentonite) were …

The liquid limit test is one of the most widely used tests in soil mechanics, with the value
obtained being correlated against a variety of soil properties such as soil strength. The …

It is known that the standards suggest classifying fine-grained soils by incorporating different
amounts and types of clays based on their plasticity which is a function of the liquid and …

The main objective of this study was to investigate the instant consistency of cement-treated
marine clay using the fall cone test and Casagrande (percussion cup test) method. As a …

Atterberg limits of soils including the liquid limit are one of the oldest and most traditional
tests conducted in geotechnical site investigations. The relationship between the liquid limits …
