The paper presents the results of standard plastic limit test and fall cone test also used to determine plastic limit. Tests were performed on three clay soils. Soils differed from each other various percentage of the sand fraction. Plastic limit is standardly determined by hand rolling soil specimen. A sample of soil has moisture on plastic limit when the roller of the soil of 3 mm diameter begins to break up (CSN EN ISO/TS 17892-12). The test results are highly dependent on access laboratory technicians which pr...
