Discussion: Use of fall cones to determine Atterberg limits: a review

Abstract

The authors have presented a thorough and careful review in relation to laboratory tests and other approaches employed in the determination of the consistency limits of clayey soils, highlighting their use and misuse for fine-grained soil classification purposes and in existing correlations. The discussers appreciate the contributions that the authors have made on improving the fundamental interpretations of the Atterberg limits and quantitative relationships between their values and soil parameters
