Life
Atterberg studied in Stockholm and Uppsala , was director of the Agricultural Research Institute in Kalmar from 1877 and later became a lecturer in chemistry at Uppsala University . In 1911 he introduced the consistency limits of soils (shrinkage limit, roll-out limit and flow limit).

As a chemist, among other things, he examined beryllium and its compounds.
