Liquid Limit of Soil given Plasticity Index Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Liquid Limit = Plasticity Index+Plastic Limit
W_l = I_p+W_p
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Liquid Limit - Liquid limit is the water content of the soil that would correspond to the standard groove closing in 25 drops of the cup.
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

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

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_l = I_p+W_p --> 1.2+1.2

Evaluating ... ...

W_l = 2.4

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.4 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.4 <-- Liquid Limit

Angle of Internal Friction for Soil

Go Angle of Internal Friction = arctan(Shear Force on Soil/Normal Force on Soil)

Moisture Content of Soil given Liquidity Index

Go Water Content of Soil = ((Liquidity Index*Plasticity Index)+Plastic Limit)

Plasticity Index of Soil given Liquidity Index

Go Plasticity Index = (Water Content of Soil-Plastic Limit)/Liquidity Index

Liquidity Index of Soil

Go Liquidity Index = (Water Content of Soil-Plastic Limit)/Plasticity Index

Shearing Force on Plane when Sliding on Plane is Impending

Go Shear Force on Soil = (Normal Force on Soil*Coefficient of Internal Friction)

Normal Force on given Plane in Cohesionless Soil

Go Normal Force on Soil = (Shear Force on Soil/Coefficient of Internal Friction)

Coefficient of Internal Friction for Soil

Go Coefficient of Internal Friction = (Shear Force on Soil/Total Normal Force)

Percent of Soil Finer than Clay Size given Activity Index

Go Percentage of Clay Fraction = (Plasticity Index/Activity Index)

Plasticity Index of Soil given Activity Index

Go Plasticity Index = (Activity Index*Percentage of Clay Fraction)

Activity Index of Soil

Go Activity Index = (Plasticity Index/Percentage of Clay Fraction)

Shrinkage Limit of Soil given Shrinkage Index

Go Shrinkage Limit = (Plastic Limit-Shrinkage Index)

Plastic Limit of Soil given Shrinkage Index

Go Plastic Limit = (Shrinkage Index+Shrinkage Limit)

Shrinkage Index of Soil

Go Shrinkage Index = (Plastic Limit-Shrinkage Limit)

Plastic Limit of Soil given Plasticity Index

Go Plastic Limit = Liquid Limit-Plasticity Index

Liquid Limit of Soil given Plasticity Index

Go Liquid Limit = Plasticity Index+Plastic Limit

Plasticity Index of Soil

Go Plasticity Index = Liquid Limit-Plastic Limit

Liquid Limit of Soil given Plasticity Index Formula

Liquid Limit = Plasticity Index+Plastic Limit
W_l = I_p+W_p

What is Liquid Limit of Soil?

Liquid limit is the water content where the soil starts to behave as a liquid. Liquid limit is measured by placing a clay sample in a standard cup and making a separation (groove) using a spatula. The cup is dropped till the separation vanishes. The water content of the soil is obtained from this sample.

How to Calculate Liquid Limit of Soil given Plasticity Index?

Liquid Limit of Soil given Plasticity Index calculator uses Liquid Limit = Plasticity Index+Plastic Limit to calculate the Liquid Limit, The Liquid Limit of Soil given Plasticity Index is defined as the water content where the soil starts to behave as a liquid. Liquid Limit is denoted by W_l symbol.

How to calculate Liquid Limit of Soil given Plasticity Index using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Liquid Limit of Soil given Plasticity Index, enter Plasticity Index (I_p) & Plastic Limit (W_p) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Liquid Limit of Soil given Plasticity Index calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.4 = 1.2+1.2.
