Measuring the plasticity of clays: A review - ScienceDirect

2011-1-1  Research Highlights Plasticity is related to deforming a substance continuously under a finite force. Composition, particle size, organic matter and additives may affect clay plasticity. Several techniques are used to determine the optimal water content of clays. Methods for evaluating the plasticity of water-clay systems were reviewed. A consolidated method for measuring clay plasticity still ...
