define atterbergs limit
Q) Define atterbergs limit Atterbergs Limit:- Atterberg limits are a set of tests used to determine the consistency of fine-grained soils by measuring the water content at which the soil transitions between different states. Liquid Limit:- Determined using the Casagrande method, which involves dropping a cup containing the soil sample and measuring the number of blows required for a groove in the soil to close. Plastic Limit:- Determined by rolling a thread of soil until it crumbles at a specific diameter, indicating the point where the soil transitions from plastic to semi-solid. Shrinkage Limit:- Determined by measuring the water content at which further drying does not cause a further reduction in volume.
