Abstract:Liquid limit and plastic limit determinations are the routine laboratory geotechnical test items. The test parameters are the important indicators to classify the fine grained soils and to evaluate the engineering properties, in which the determination methods of liquid limit are various, and the determination standards of different specifications are slightly different. 60 specimens of mucky soil, clay and silty clay at a depth of 0~30 m are selected from the areas of Shanghai for the 76g-10 mm and 76g-17 mm liquid limit tests. A unary quadratic regression model of the correlation between two liquid limit tests is established by using Excel to set up the roughly equivalent statistical relationships.
