Liquidity Index

on . Posted in Geotechnical Engineering

annual soil loss 2Liquidity index, abbreciated as \(l_l\), is the range of water content to the liquid limits.

 

Liquidity Index formula

\( l_l \;=\;  w - w_p \;/\; l_p  \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( l_l \) = Liquidity Index \(dimensionless\) \(dimensionless\)
\( w \)  = Natural Water Content \(dimensionless\) \(dimensionless\)
\( w_p \)  =  Lower Plastic Limit (Plastic Limit) \(dimensionless\) \(dimensionless\)
\( l_p \)  = Plasticity Index \(dimensionless\) \(dimensionless\)
