What is liquidity index of soil ?

The liquidity index (LI) is used for scaling the natural water content of a soil sample to the limits. It can be calculated as a ratio of difference between natural water content, plastic limit, and liquid limit.

How to Calculate Liquidity Index of Soil?

Liquidity Index of Soil calculator uses Liquidity index=(Moisture content-Plastic limit)/Plasticity index to calculate the Liquidity index, The Liquidity Index of Soil formula is defined as as a ratio of difference between natural water content, plastic limit, and liquid limit. Liquidity index and is denoted by I_l symbol.

How to calculate Liquidity Index of Soil using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Liquidity Index of Soil, enter Moisture content (W_n), Plastic limit (W_p) and Plasticity index (I_p) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Liquidity Index of Soil calculation can be explained with given input values -> -0.583333 = (0.5-1.2)/1.2.

FAQ

What is Liquidity Index of Soil?

The Liquidity Index of Soil formula is defined as as a ratio of difference between natural water content, plastic limit, and liquid limit and is represented as I_l=(W_n-W_p)/I_p or Liquidity index=(Moisture content-Plastic limit)/Plasticity index . Moisture content is the natural water content of soil sample, Plastic limit is water content at which soil changes from semi solid to plastic state and Plasticity index is difference between liquid limit and plastic limit.

How to calculate Liquidity Index of Soil?

The Liquidity Index of Soil formula is defined as as a ratio of difference between natural water content, plastic limit, and liquid limit is calculated using Liquidity index=(Moisture content-Plastic limit)/Plasticity index . To calculate Liquidity Index of Soil, you need Moisture content (W_n), Plastic limit (W_p) and Plasticity index (I_p). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Moisture content, Plastic limit and Plasticity index and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
