Plasticity Index of Soil given Liquidity Index Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Water Content of Soil: 1.79 --> No Conversion Required
Plastic Limit: 1.2 --> No Conversion Required
Liquidity Index: 0.6 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

I_p = (w-W_p)/I_l --> (1.79-1.2)/0.6

Evaluating ... ...

I_p = 0.983333333333334

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.983333333333334 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.983333333333334 ≈ 0.983333 <-- Plasticity Index

What is Plasticity Index of Soil?

The plasticity index (PI) is a measure of the plasticity of the soil. The plasticity index is the size of the range of water content where the soil exhibits plastic properties. The PI is the difference between the liquid limit and the plastic limit.

How to Calculate Plasticity Index of Soil given Liquidity Index?

Plasticity Index of Soil given Liquidity Index calculator uses Plasticity Index = (Water Content of Soil-Plastic Limit)/Liquidity Index to calculate the Plasticity Index, The Plasticity Index of Soil given Liquidity Index is defined as a measure of the plasticity of a soil. Plasticity Index is denoted by I_p symbol.

How to calculate Plasticity Index of Soil given Liquidity Index using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Plasticity Index of Soil given Liquidity Index, enter Water Content of Soil (w), Plastic Limit (W_p) & Liquidity Index (I_l) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Plasticity Index of Soil given Liquidity Index calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.983333 = (1.79-1.2)/0.6.

FAQ

What is Plasticity Index of Soil given Liquidity Index?

The Plasticity Index of Soil given Liquidity Index is defined as a measure of the plasticity of a soil and is represented as I_p = (w-W_p)/I_l or Plasticity Index = (Water Content of Soil-Plastic Limit)/Liquidity Index. Water Content of Soil is the natural water content of soil sample, Plastic limit is water content at which soil changes from semi solid to plastic state & Liquidity Index is ratio of difference between moisture content and plastic limit to plasticity index.

How to calculate Plasticity Index of Soil given Liquidity Index?

The Plasticity Index of Soil given Liquidity Index is defined as a measure of the plasticity of a soil is calculated using Plasticity Index = (Water Content of Soil-Plastic Limit)/Liquidity Index. To calculate Plasticity Index of Soil given Liquidity Index, you need Water Content of Soil (w), Plastic Limit (W_p) & Liquidity Index (I_l). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Water Content of Soil, Plastic Limit & Liquidity Index and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
