CE162 Lab Report Abstract Atterberg Limits

This laboratory report describes an experiment to determine the Atterberg limits of a soil sample, including its liquid limit (LL), plastic limit (PL), and plasticity index (PI). The experiment found the soil sample had a LL of 38, PL of 29, and PI of 9. These values were used to classify the soil and predict its engineering behavior and suitability for applications.

Laboratory Report #2:


Determining the Atterberg Limits of a Soil Sample
ABSTRACT
Atterberg Limits for soils relate the water content and the consistency of the soil to identify
its classification and properties. In this experiment, a soil sample was tested following ASTM
D4318-10e1 for determining the liquid limit (LL) and plastic limit (PL) which were used to
determine the plasticity index (PI) of said soil sample. The experiment found values of
LL=38, PL=29, and PI=9. These values were then used in relation to other concepts discussed
in the course to classify the soil sample and predict its behavior and suitability to engineering
applications.
