The liquid limit (LL) It is defined as the percentage moisture content at which a soil changes with decreasing wetness from liquid to plastic consistency or with increasing wetness from plastic to liquid consistency. It is the water content at which a soil changes from plastic to liquid behavior.The plastic limit (PL) is the water content, in percent, at which a soil can no longer be deformed by rolling into 3 diameter threads without crumbling. In other words, it is the percentage moisture content at which a soil changes with decreasing wetness from the plastic to the semi- solid consistency or with increasing wetness from the semi-solid to the plastic consistency.
