2.4: Soil Mechanical Parameters

2.4.2. Atterberg Limits. The Atterberg limits are a basic measure of the nature of a fine-grained soil pending on the water content of the soil, it may appear in four states: solid, semi-solid, plastic and liquid. In each state the consistency and behavior of a soil is different and thus so are its engineering properties.
