Question : 111 of 200

Marks: +1, -0

The plasticity index and plastic limit of a soil is given by 25% and 20% respectively. What will be the liquid limit of the soil?

Solution:

Plasticity index (

I _P

)
= Liquid limit (

w_L

) – Plastic limit (

w_P

)
0.25 = Liquid limit – 0.20
⇒ Liquid limit = 0.20 + 0.25
⇒ Liquid limit (

w_L

) = 0.45
