Abstract
⺠Plasticity is related to deforming a substance continuously under a finite force. ⺠Composition, particle size, organic matter and additives may affect clay plasticity. ⺠Several techniques are used to determine the optimal water content of clays. ⺠Methods for evaluating the plasticity of water-clay systems were reviewed. ⺠A consolidated method for measuring clay plasticity still does not exist.
