Due to lack of or insufficient fall-cone readings in the plastic range.
Originally cited in Vardanega & Haigh (2014) as ‘Yin (2012) personal communication’ as the paper had yet to be published.
Fall-cone liquid limit values and other geotechnical properties reported in original papers, but not the raw fall-cone test data (raw data stored in the original author's files).
Sridharan et al. (1999) compared their database with data from Campbell (1975), Sampson & Netterberg (1985) and Sherwood & Ryley (1970), and they showed that the value of the coefficient in equation (4) did not change significantly.
