Can No. 3A 2A G3 4A: Liquid Limit Determination Number

The document describes procedures for determining the liquid limit and plastic limit of a soil sample. For the liquid limit test, the mass of wet soil, dry soil, moisture, and number of blows required to close a groove in the soil were recorded for multiple trials. For the plastic limit test, the water content was measured at various soil stiffnesses. A graph of water content versus number of blows for the liquid limit test was also presented.
