Moisture Content of Soil given Liquidity Index Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Water Content of Soil = ((Liquidity Index*Plasticity Index)+Plastic Limit)
w = ((I_l*I_p)+W_p)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Water Content of Soil - Water Content of Soil is the natural water content of soil sample.
Liquidity Index - Liquidity Index is ratio of difference between moisture content and plastic limit to plasticity index.
Plasticity Index - Plasticity Index is difference between liquid limit and plastic limit.
Plastic Limit - Plastic limit is water content at which soil changes from semi solid to plastic state.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Liquidity Index: 0.6 --> No Conversion Required
Plasticity Index: 1.2 --> No Conversion Required
Plastic Limit: 1.2 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w = ((I_l*I_p)+W_p) --> ((0.6*1.2)+1.2)

Evaluating ... ...

w = 1.92

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.92 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.92 <-- Water Content of Soil

Water Content of Soil = ((Liquidity Index*Plasticity Index)+Plastic Limit)
w = ((I_l*I_p)+W_p)

What is Moisture Content of Soil?

The moisture content of soil is described as the ratio of the mass of water held in the soil to the dry soil. The mass of water is determined by the difference before and after drying the soil.

How to Calculate Moisture Content of Soil given Liquidity Index?

Moisture Content of Soil given Liquidity Index calculator uses Water Content of Soil = ((Liquidity Index*Plasticity Index)+Plastic Limit) to calculate the Water Content of Soil, The Moisture Content of Soil given Liquidity Index is defined as the natural water content of the soil. Water Content of Soil is denoted by w symbol.

How to calculate Moisture Content of Soil given Liquidity Index using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Moisture Content of Soil given Liquidity Index, enter Liquidity Index (I_l), Plasticity Index (I_p) & Plastic Limit (W_p) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Moisture Content of Soil given Liquidity Index calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.92 = ((0.6*1.2)+1.2).

FAQ

What is Moisture Content of Soil given Liquidity Index?
