Role of Diatom Microstructure in Determining the Atterberg Limits of Fine-Grained Diatomaceous Soil
Applied Sciences, 2023 The presence of diatoms in diatomaceous soil gives it geotechnical properties that are unusual compared with common clays. The most typical physical property of diatomaceous soil is its abnormally high Atterberg limits compared to fine-grained soil ...

Review of Recent Developments and Understanding of Atterberg Limits Determinations [PDF]
Geotechnics, 2021 Among the most commonly specified tests in the geotechnical engineering industry, the liquid limit and plastic limit tests are principally used for (i) deducing useful design parameter values from existing correlations with these consistency limits and (ii) for classifying fine-grained soils, typically employing the Casagrande-style plasticity chart ...

Automatic determination of the Atterberg limits with machine learningโข
Dyna, 2022 In this study, we determine the liquid limit (๐๐), plasticity index (PI), and plastic limit (๐๐) of several natural fine-grained soil samples with the help of machine-learning and statistical methods. This enables us to locate each soil type analysed in

Relationship Between the Atterberg Limits and Clay Content
Soils and Foundations, 2007 ABSTRACT This study investigates the liquid limit (Casagrande's method) and plastic limit (rolling and thread method) of six inorganic soils and their respective mixtures with fine silica sand. It was observed that the liquid limit and plastic limit values of the mixtures tested, except those with a low clay percentage, are linked to the respective ...

Soil Atterberg limits of different weathering profiles of the collapsing gullies in the hilly granitic region of southern China [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2017 Collapsing gullies are one of the most serious soil erosion problems in the tropical and subtropical areas of southern China. However, few studies have been performed on the relationship of soil Atterberg limits with soil profiles of the collapsing ...
