Steps to determine the Shrinkage Limit a. Plot the plasticity index against the liquid limit of a given soll such as point A. b. Project the A-line and the U-line downward to meet at point. Point 8 will have the coordinates ofLL = 43.5 and P= 46.4, ¢. Join points 8 and A witha straight line. This will intersect the liquid limit axis at point C, The abscissa of point C is the estimated shrinkage limit. | SOIL COMPACTION ~ itis the densification of soil by removal of air which requires mechanical energy. is necessary to improve the strength and bearing ity of the soil used. = it describe parameters which control the engineering behavior of sil. - The moisture content at which the maximum dry unit weight is attained is called optimum moisture content.
