defines where the soil changes from a semi-solid to a plastic (flexible) state - 3LIQUID LIMITmoisture content that defines where the soil changes from a plastic
to a viscous fluid state - 4SHRINKAGE LIMITmoisture content that defines
where the soil volume will not reduce further if the moisture content is reduced - 5PLASTICITY INDEXplasticity index, PI = LL - PL
