Plasticity Index of Soil given Activity Index Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Plasticity Index = (Activity Index*Percentage of Clay Fraction)
I_p = (A_c*μ)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Plasticity Index - Plasticity Index is difference between liquid limit and plastic limit.
Activity Index - Activity Index of soil can be defined as ratio of plasticity index to clay fraction as percentage.
Percentage of Clay Fraction - Percentage of Clay Fraction is the amount of particle which have size less than clay particles.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Activity Index: 6 --> No Conversion Required
Percentage of Clay Fraction: 0.2 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

I_p = (A_c*μ) --> (6*0.2)

Evaluating ... ...

I_p = 1.2
