3- Water content is the ratio between water weight to soil total weight
4- liquid limit is higher than plastic limit for a cohesive soil
5- Plasticity index is lower than liquid limit for a cohesive soil
6- Hydrometer test is done of garnular soil (coarse aggregates)
7- The aggregate sample for the sieve analysis is placed on the largest sieve diameter
8- Cumulative percentage retained = sum of percentage retained on all the sieves of larger
diameter and that of a particular size
9- Water conetent can be larger than 100%
10- The plastic limit is the water content at which the soil turns solid.
