Question

Transcribed Image Text:Given the following properties of a soil sample:
Liquid limit = 63.2 %
Plastic limit = 36.8%
Liquidity Index = 0.52
What is the natural water content of the soil?
O 50.53%
O 51.78%
O 52.24%
48.65%

Transcribed Image Text:Given the laboratory results of the Atterberg Limits Test in the following figure. Plot the water content versus
the number of blows. Determine the nearest value to the Liquidity Index of the soil.
