Slide No. 92
SOIL CLASSIFICATION
LL - Liquid limit
is the water
content of a soil
when it passes
from the plastic
to liquid state.
Slide No. 93
SOIL CLASSIFICATION
LL - Liquid limit
Non-cohesive or sandy soils
have low LLs -- less than 20.
Clay soils have LLs ranging
from 20 to 100.

9Critical test is the construction of a
compaction curve.
9From compaction curves the
maximum dry unit weight (density)
and the percent water required to
achieve maximum density can be
determined.

Maximum Dry Density/Optimum
Moisture (contd)
9This percent of water, which
corresponds to the maximum dry
