A fine-grained soil has a LL = 61; PL = 30. A moisture content test was performed on a bulk sample and yielded the following data: Mass dry soil + Tare = 71.9g Mass moist soil + Tare = 96.2g Mass Tare = 20.8g Compute the plasticity index, water content, and liquidity index. Classify this soil according to USCS with the data available.

A lab technician finds water content of clay soil test specimen when the two parts of soil in Casagrande’s liquid limit test apparatus close at 25 drops to be 55%. The water content of the same soil when he rolls out to 1/8 inch diameter on a glass plate crumbles is 24%. Determine the following: - Liquid Limit - Plastic Limit - Plasticity Index - Classify soil in accordance with Plasticity Chart.

What conclusion can be drawn if a Kaolinite clay soil has a Plastic limit of 15.36, the liquid limit of 47.8, plasticity index of 32.44 and natural water content is 11.35? It is also calculated that the liquidity index is -0.1236. This is a result of a lab experiment. Since there is a contradiction between high plasticity of soil but negative liquidity index, so I am so confused about it. Thank you.
