ABSTRACT
Determine: (a) the liquidity indices II of the soils, (b) the consistency of the natural soils and (c) the possible behavior of the soils under vibrating loads.
Solution W
n -wp(a) II =--~ I p
By substituting the appropriate values in this equation, we have
Type I[ 1 1.375 2 0.778 3 0 4 -0.21
(b) From Table 3.10, Type 1 is in a liquid state, Type 2 in a very soft state, Type 3 in very stiff state, and Type 4 in a semisolid state.
