The liquid limit is the water content at which a soil will flow under a standard shear stress. The plastic limit is the water content at which a soil will just crumble when rolled into a thread 1\/8 inch in diameter.<\/p>\n<p>The consistency index is calculated as the natural logarithm of the ratio of the liquid limit to the plastic limit.<\/p>\n<p>The toughness index is calculated as the ratio of the plasticity index to the consistency index.<\/p>\n<p>A soil with a high plasticity index will be more plastic than a soil with a low plasticity index. A soil with a high consistency index will be more resistant to deformation than a soil with a low consistency index. A soil with a high toughness index will be more able to withstand deformation without breaking than a soil with a low toughness index.<\/p>\n<p>The toughness index is an important parameter in the design of earthworks and foundations. It is used to assess the risk of soil failure due to deformation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe on
