Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a soil sample with a plastic limit of 22% and a liquid limit of 40%. What is the activity classification if the clay content is 30%?

💡 Hint: Calculate the plasticity index first.

Question 2

A construction site has encountered a soil with 70% clay, a plastic limit of 40%, and a liquid limit of 70%. Classify the soil based on activity and liquidity index.

💡 Hint: Start with calculating the plasticity index.
