What is plastic limit of soil ?

The plastic limit of a soil is the moisture content, expressed as a percentage of the weight of the oven-dry soil, at the boundary between the plastic and semisolid states of consistency. It is the moisture content at which a soil will just begin to crumble when rolled into a thread ⅛ in.

How to Calculate Plastic Limit of Soil when Shrinkage Index is Given?

Plastic Limit of Soil when Shrinkage Index is Given calculator uses Plastic limit=(Shrinkage index+Shrinkage limit) to calculate the Plastic limit, The Plastic Limit of Soil when Shrinkage Index is Given formula is defined as the moisture content at which a soil will just begin to crumble when rolled into a thread ⅛ in. Plastic limit and is denoted by W_p symbol.

How to calculate Plastic Limit of Soil when Shrinkage Index is Given using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Plastic Limit of Soil when Shrinkage Index is Given, enter Shrinkage index (I_s) and Shrinkage limit (W_s) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Plastic Limit of Soil when Shrinkage Index is Given calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.48 = (0.35+0.13).

FAQ

What is Plastic Limit of Soil when Shrinkage Index is Given?

The Plastic Limit of Soil when Shrinkage Index is Given formula is defined as the moisture content at which a soil will just begin to crumble when rolled into a thread ⅛ in and is represented as W_p=(I_s+W_s) or Plastic limit=(Shrinkage index+Shrinkage limit). Shrinkage index is the difference between the plastic and shrinkage limits and Shrinkage limit is the water content at which further loss of moisture will not cause a decrease in volume.

How to calculate Plastic Limit of Soil when Shrinkage Index is Given?

The Plastic Limit of Soil when Shrinkage Index is Given formula is defined as the moisture content at which a soil will just begin to crumble when rolled into a thread ⅛ in is calculated using Plastic limit=(Shrinkage index+Shrinkage limit). To calculate Plastic Limit of Soil when Shrinkage Index is Given, you need Shrinkage index (I_s) and Shrinkage limit (W_s). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Shrinkage index and Shrinkage limit and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Plastic limit?

In this formula, Plastic limit uses Shrinkage index and Shrinkage limit. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Plastic limit=Liquid limit-Plasticity index
Plastic limit=(Moisture content-(Liquidity index*Plasticity index ))
