PLASTIC LIMIT

TABULATION:

Trial No 1 2 3

Wt of the container 24
Weight of container +Wet sample,g 38

Weight of container +Dry sample,g 35.2


Weight of wet soil,g 14
Weight of water 2.8
Weight of dry soil,g 11.2
Water content(%) 25

CALCULATION:
Weight of empty container, W1 =24 g
Weight of wet soil = (Weight of container + Wet soil) - (Weight
of container)
Weight of dry soil = (Weight of container + dry soil) - (Weight
of container)
Weight of water, = Weight of wet soil - Weight of wet soil

% of moisture content = (Weight of water/Weight of dry soil) x100


% of moisture content = 25%

RESULT
% of moisture content = 25%
