This document contains the results of plasticity index tests on soil samples from three different locations along a road section. The tests measured the liquid limit, plastic limit, plasticity index and linear shrinkage of each soil sample. The results showed that Sample 1 had a liquid limit of 35.9, plastic limit of 25.0 and plasticity index of 10.9. Sample 2 had higher values of 69.0, 36.5 and 32.5 respectively. Sample 3's results were partially shown. The technician and materials engineer signed off on the tests, confirming the results met specifications.
