| Abstract |
| There is no standard method of determining the plasticity
of clay, although se'iJeralmethods have been suggested by variout
authors, Atterber'gs method for the determination of plasticity
index may be considered to be the most convenient practice to know
the degree of plasticity of clay and soil samples. The limits as
determined by Aterberg are the liquid limit, plastic limit and
plasticity-index. These methods are described in this paper.
The values of limits for Agartala clay have been tabulated.
The values correspond favourably with the standard plastic clay
of Europe and America. The relation between the particle size
and plastic-index has also been discussed. Pure clay separated from
impurities shows a kigher value of the Atterberg plasticity-index. |
