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.
