Among the multitude of alternate plasticity index (PI) estimation proposals, empirical
correlations based on the linear shrinkage (LS) test, originally proposed in the 1967 edition …

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 …

Use of fall-cone flow index for soil classification: a new plasticity chart | Géotechnique ICE
Publishing collections are provided by Emerald Publishing ICE Virtual Library essential …

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 …

Clays are very important in environmental geotechnical applications because of their
characteristics. This paper considered over 500 data from literature and from laboratory …

The Fall-cone test is a useful method which can be used in evaluation of many soil index
and strength identifiers. In this regard, the flow index is calculated as the slope of the plot of …

This paper analyzed the consistency of some parameters of soils in the literature and
experimental results from fall cone test and its application to soil plasticity classification. Over …

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 …

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 …
