Aug 22, 2016 The determination of the consistency (condition) can be done both in situ and in the laboratory. In the case of the in-situ test, the condition of a cohesive type of soil is to be determined as follows:
|
||||||
|
Aug 22, 2016 Using the soil samples' water content at the liquid and plastic limits, wL and wP (Atterberg consistency limit), according to [[ASTM D4318-10]] and/or [DIN18122], and the natural water content w, the consistency index IC (or CI) can be calculated : (Formula: Consistency index) The consistency index is a numerical representation of the consistency of a soil. (Table: Consistency index IC and designation of the soil state of cohesive soils in accordance … |

Aug 22, 2016 Soil plasticity is the “Property of a cohesive soil, which changes its mechanical behaviour with change in the water content” [DINENISO14688:2001]. The plasticity is the range between the liquid- and the plastic limit. This range is classified into very soft, soft and firm [DIN18122]. (Image: Consistency band [Trian00]) |
||||||
|
Aug 22, 2016 The state conditions of the plastic range are shown as numerical values in the table. The liquidity index IL = 1 - IC is also listed. (Table: Conditions in the plastic range [DIN18122]) |
||||||
|
Aug 22, 2016 The degree of plasticity is obtained from the water content of the soil at the liquid limit wL [[ASTM D4318-10]], and is as per [ [DIN18196:2011]] and [ [DINENISO14688:2018]], divided into:
The plasticity index, IP, is used in order to achieve a clear distinction of the cohesive soil type into silt or clay, as well as in silty or … |
||||||
|
Aug 22, 2016 Special classifications and designations for fine soils (silt and clay) subject to the liquid limit wL can be found in EN ISO 14688-2. [ [DINENISO14688:2018]] (Table: Classification of fine soils subject to the liquid limit wL or plasticity index IP as per EN ISO 14688-2) |
