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

Percent of Soil Finer than Clay Size given Activity Index Formula

Percentage of Clay Fraction = (Plasticity Index/Activity Index)
μ = (I_p/A_c)
