At the same time, he defined the plasticity index (PI), a parameter that represents the range of moisture content in which the soil has plastic behavior, and suggested for the first time that the PI could be used to classify soils.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>One of the main practical problems related to the limits proposed by Atterberg was associated with the fact that they were arbitrary, and the tests to determine them were not easily reproducible in any laboratory.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">In view of the above, in the 1920s, Terzaghi and Casagrande, working for the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads, standardized the Atterberg limits so that they could be used to classify soils.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">Currently, in practical Geotechnical Engineering we routinely use the liquid limit (LL) and plastic limit (LP), not only to classify fine-grained soils (and the fine portion of coarse soils), but also to estimate numerous parameters from correlations.
