Discussion of Results:

Plastic limits are one of the atterberg limits, under the classification and determination of
fine grained soils. The laboratory test finds an experiment or procedure to determine the
minimum water content that allows the soil sample to be remolded after which condition
the sample is further molded until such time that the sample reaches its limits and
begins to crumble. With this being said the soil sample undergoes its transition of its
moisture content from plastic to its semi solid state of the soil sample. Take note that as
the grain size of the soil increases the plastic limit of the soil decreases. As we begin
molding our soil sample and attaining the desired diameter of the thread, the thread
begins to have cracks and crumbles into pieces. After performing and putting it into the
oven and drying it completely. The data must show that the weight of the soil sample
must decrease because of the absence of water from the sample. And from the data
gathered we were able to calculate the plastic limit of the soil sample and the plasticity
index with the existing value of the liquid limit.

Conclusion

From what we've observed from performing the experiment and calculating the data
we've gathered, we are able to identify the difference in value between plastic limit and
liquid limit. With this being said, identifying the values were able to profile what is the
plasticity index of the soil, and with it were able to understand or interpret our soil
sample properties where they fall to in the existing data.
