What about silty soil?

Shahjada said:   7 years ago
Sand and gravel are non-cohesive.

Anu said:   7 years ago
If atterberg limits is for fine grained soils. Then why not silty soils?

Sufyan said:   7 years ago
Atterberg limit is the use for cohesive soil only and clay is cohesive.

Daksh said:   7 years ago
If liquid limit could be found clearly then density index of fine-grained soil should be defined Which is not practically possible.

Harish said:   7 years ago
It just because that all index properties are valid for fine-grained soil.

Vinayak said:   8 years ago
Yes, clay is the right answer.

Devprakash said:   8 years ago
Because exist liquid state the soils are more liquid. And then saturated position so clay is the correct answer.
