Abstract

The liquid limit is an essential property of soil due to its relationship with other properties and behaviour of soil directly or indirectly. The two methods for determining the liquid limit are widely used, viz. Casagrande method and cone penetrometer method. This paper presents a comparison of the liquid limit of soils determined by performing both experiments. The result demonstrates that the liquid limit value obtained from Casagrande method is a little higher than those obtained from cone penetrometer in high plastic soil. In low plastic soils, cone penetrometer gives the higher values of liquid limit. However, in medium plastic soil, it is difficult to make any conclusion.
