Reorientation of the soil particles because of the deterioration of the natural structure
of the soil system under the influence of precipitation and mechanical forces is defined as soil compaction. The Atterberg limits are the term used to describe the effect
of the water in the soil system on the mechanical behaviour of the soil. The water entering the soil system causes changes in the mechanical behaviour of the soil depending on the grain size distribution, especially on the clay content of the soil. The aim of
this study was determining the relationships between Atterberg limits and soil penetration resistance. For this purpose, a natural pasture was determined as a study area.
In this area, 20 sample points were established and both penetration resistance were
measured and soil samples were taken at three soil depths (0-25cm, 25-50cm, 50-
75cm) for physical analysis such as grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, and moisture content. The results showed that all properties varied along the soil layers as well
as correlations between soil penetration resistance and soil physical properties were
statically significant.
