Post-lab questions:

1. What information does a plasticity chart provide?

a. According to the Indian Standard Soil Classification System, the plasticity chart,
which graphs the relationship between plasticity index (PI) and liquid limit (LL)
in percentage, is used to classify fine-grained soils.
2. If a soil has a plasticity index between 20 and 30, and a liquid limit between 35 and 45%,
what does it tell you?
a. Plasticity Index of 20-30 indicates high plasticity, silty clay. Liquid
Limit of 35-45% indicates medium compressibility.
