The shrinkage limit of a soil is defined as the moisture content after which any further reduction of moisture will not cause volume reduction. A fully saturated soil specimen is allowed to dry in free air and its volume is measured repeatedly by immersing in a mercury bath. From the data obtained from this test, Shrinkage Limit, Shrinkage Ratio, Shrinkage Index and Volumetric Shrinkage can be calculated. Shrinkage can be significant in clays but less so in silts and sands.
