Détermination indirecte des limites dʹAtterberg par gravimétrie dynamique

This study presents a new method for Atterberg limits measurements using dynamic drying. Indeed, for some polluted clays, or clay mixtures, classical methods cannot be used. The principle of liquid ( W L ) and plasticity ( W P ) limits determination by this method is presented. Experimental values for classical clays are close to those obtained with Casagrandeʹs methods, allowing for larger physical mud characterisation. To cite this article: C. Proust et al., C. R.
