A liquid limit test, conducted on a soil sample in the Casagrande cup device, gave the following results: Two determinations for the plastic limit gave water contents of
20.3%and
20.8%. Determine the following: a) The liquid limit and the plastic limit b) The plasticity index c) The liquidity index if the natural water content is
27.4%d) The void ratio at the liquid limit if Gs= 2.7 e) The shrinkage limit Use the following relationship for the calculation of the shrinkage limit:
SL=46.4((LL+45.5)/(/PI +46.4))-43.5
