Atterberg limits are a series of standardized tests used to determine the critical water contents of fine-grained soils, particularly clay and silt. These limits help classify soil and assess its properties, including its plasticity and consistency. The Atterberg limits consist of three key parameters: 1. **Liquid Limit (LL)**: This is the moisture content at which the soil changes from a plastic state to a liquid state.
