Determination of plastic limit of soil using modified method

Plastic limit is an important property of fine-grained soils. The standard thread-rolling method for determining the plastic limit has long been criticized for requiring considerable judgments from the operator. This study was conducted to seek for a new method on the determination of the plastic li...
