The following results were obtained from a liquid limit test on a soil using a liquid limit device. The in-situ water content of this clay is 38% and the plastic limit is 20%. (Note: show the semi-log graph for the determination of the LL) Number of Blows 6 12 20 28 32 Moisture Content 53.5 48.1 43.3 39.6 38.5 (%) Determine the following: (a) Liquid Limit of the soil, (b) Plasticity Index of the soil, and (c) Liquidity Index of the soil Referring to problem number 1, determine the value of Shrinkage Limit using Plasticity Chart.
