When soil gain shear strength is known plastic state of soil.

At minimum water content how it is in the liquid state?
Ram said:

Small shearing strength in liquid limit.
Manish tiwari said:

Answer must be plastic limit because at liquid state shear strength is zero.

The liquid limit is defined as the minimum water content at which the soil is sufficiently fluid to flow.

The liquid limit is defined as minimum water content at which the soil still possess the liquid state but has just started to exhibit small shearing resistance.

Given answer is correct. Plastic limit is the amount of water content at which soil just begin to crumble when rolled into 3 mm diameter thread.

The given answer is correct because all the soil at liquid limit has a negligible shear strength of 2.7 kN/m^2.
