Problem 14. The plastic limit and liquid limit of a soil are 36% and 54% respectively. The percentage volume change from the liquid limit to the dry state is 50% of the dry volume. Similarly, the percentage volume change from the plastic limit to the dry state is 29% of the dry volume. Determine the shrinkage limit. a. 9% b. 10% C. 11% d. 12%
.49 Plastic limit of a soil is 25% and plasticity index is 8%. When soil is dry from plastic limit, the volume change is 25% of its volume at plastic limit. Similarly when soil is dry from liquid limit, the volume change is 34% of its volume at liquid limit. Determine shrinkage limit and shrinkage ratto.
