Q.8
Data for Soil A and soil B is given below:
I.Which soil will be a better foundation material?
IIWhich soil has higher strength at plastic limit?
Codes:
Solution
i) Liquidity index ILA =
ILB =
ILB < ILA, Hence the soil B will have more stiff consistency than A
So Soil ‘B’ will be a better foundation material
ii) Toughness Index, IT =
ITA =
ITB = =
As (IT)B > (IT)A and we know toughness index indicates the strength of soil at plastic limit.
Hence soil ‘B’ has higher strength at plastic limit.
