GEOTECHNIC ENGINEERING LABORATORY
EXPERIMENT 2:
ATTERBERG LIMIT
LABORATORY PRACTICAL
OBJECTIVE:
1. To have the limit optimum for liquid
2. To have ratio of the moist sample
THEORY:
The Atterberg limits are a basic measure of the nature of a fine grained soil. The
Atterberg limits can be used to distinguish between silt and clay, and it can
distinguish between different types of silts and clays.Atterberg Limit is divided into
two small experiments, that is Penetration test or Casagrande test, and the second
experiment is Plastic Limit test. For Casagrande test it is to get the liquid limit
value.
