1. Determination of grain size distribution
2. Consolidation characteristics
3. Determination of consistency limits
4. Determination of safe bearing capacity of soil
Consistency as applied to cohesive soils is an indicator of its
The plasticity index and the percentage of grain size finer than 2 microns of a clay sample are 25 and 15, respectively. Its activity ratio is
The natural void ratio of a sand sample is 0.6 and its density index is 0.6. If its void ratio in the loosest state is 0.9, then the void ratio in the densest state will be
