It marks a transition from liquid to plastic state Similarly olatic limit i the minmum water content upto which the soil remains plastic and thereore remouldable.Yt marks the transition from <br />plastic to solid state.<br /><br />The increae in LL and OL for fine grained oils is due ti increased surface atra of particles.<br /><br />U think the diffrences in behaviour of oils could be mainly attriuted to theirpore size distribution with clay dominent soils shwing more nicropore than capillary pores that can be easily emptied and filled while it needs considerable time for the microores. A oil rich in micropores and with leser no. of capillary pores may show high PI. A predominently capillary pore dented soil may show very little PI.<br />Dattatreya<br />Dattatreyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11230098610504098686noreply@blogger.com
