Problem-2 Test conducted on a soil sample gave the following results: Number of blows 10 19 23 27 40 Water content (%) 60.0 45.2 39.8 36.5 25.2 Two determinations for the plastic limit gave water contents of 20.3% and 20.8%. Determine (a) the liquid limit and plastic limit, (b) the plasticity index, (c) the liquidity index if the natural water content is 27.4%, and (d) the void ratio at the liquid limit if Gs=2.7. (e) If the soil were to be loaded to failure, would you expect a brittle failure?
