EXPERIMENT 3
Experiment No. 3 : Determination of the plastic limit
and plasticity index
Nature of Test : Plastic Limit (PL) and Plasticity
Index (PI) Test
Objective : To determine the plastic limit and the
plasticity index of a given soil sample.
Definition of Plastic Limit
The moisture content of which a soil becomes too dry to
be in a plastic condition, as determine by the plastic limit
test.
Definition of Plasticity Index
The numerical difference between the liquid limit and the
plastic limit of a soil.
Results
Calculations
Calculation
Liquid Limit (LL) (Results from Experiment
No.2) = 58%
Plastic Limit (PL) =29.5% = 30%
Plasticity Index (LL-PL) = 58% - 30 % = 38%
Conclusion
The Plasticity index is 38 % while the plastic
limit is 30 %.

specific gravity, Gs, of the soil particles shall
be calculated from the equation.

Conclusion
CONCLUSION
EXPERIMENT 12
Experiment 12 : Determination of
shear strength in the field by the vane
test
Nature of Test : In-situ vane shear test
on weak intact cohesive soils
Objective : To determine the in-situ
vane shear strength of weak intact
cohesive soils at the bottom of boreholes
Results
In-situ Vane Shear Test Data
Calculations
The in-situ vane shear strength of the soil in kN/m2 shall be
calculated by:
i) Multiply readings by a factor of 2 for 16 x 32mm vanes
ii) Direct readings for 20 x 40mm vanes
iii) Multiply readings by a factor of 0.5 for 1 inch x 2 inch
vanes
