Atterberg Limit tests are used to determine the consistency of fine grained soils which represent behavior of soil based on the water content present in them. Based on their consistency, soils are classified into four different states, i.e., solid, semi-solid, plastic, and liquid state. Moisture contents of the soil when it changes from one state to the other are called Atterberg limits. Commonly used Atterberg limits in geotechnical engineering practice are Liquid Limit (LL), Plastic Limit (PL) and Shrinkage Limit (SL).

- Determination of liquid limit and plastic limit
- Understanding of Plasticity Chart, A-Line and U-Line
- Estimate engineering properties based on LL and PL
- Possible errors associated with the test
