Conclusion

As a conclusion, this report provides an overview of

distribution and characteristics of clay soils, peat soils and
residual soils in Malaysia. It could be noted that
consistence of soils changes with the amount of moisture
in soils. Atterberg limits correspond to the moisture
content at which a soil sample changes its consistency
from one state to one another. The plastic limit is the
percentage moisture content at which a soil changes
with decreasing wetness from plastic to the plastic to the
semi solid consistence or from the semi solid to the
plastic consistence. Liquid limit is the percentage
moisture content at which a soil changes with decreasing
wetness from the liquid to the plastic consistence or with
increasing wetness from plastic to liquid consistence.
