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 …

A database of 641 fall cone tests on 101 soil samples from 12 countries has been analysed
to determine the best mathematical relationship linking undrained shear strength with …

In geotechnical engineering applications, it is very important to obtain the undrained shear
strength of remolded soils accurately and reliably. This study aims to obtain a trustworthy …

Several attempts have been made to devise alternate plastic limit (PL) determination
methods, targeting higher degrees of repeatability and reproducibility. Among these …

The Authors have presented an interesting paper (Hrubesova et al., 2020), which aims (in
part) to validate the Moharjerani (1999) calibration approach for establishing the 80 g/30° …

The liquid limit is a key property of fine soils closely related to the stress-strain behaviour
and other relevant characteristics of soils such as the expansive potential. There are two …

A number of environmental, agronomic and engineering applications require knowledge of
the Atterberg limits (liquid limit, LL; plastic limit, PL) and the plasticity index, PI of soils. The …

Diatomaceous soils are comprised of the silica frustules of diatom microalgae that are
present in marine and lacustrine environments throughout the world. Owing to their unique …
