It is defined as the difference between the liquid limit (LL) and the plastic limit (PL). Soils with a PI of 0 to 7 are considered to be of low plasticity, soils with a PI of 7 to 17 are considered to be of medium plasticity, and soils with a PI of greater than 17 are considered to be of high plasticity.<\/p>\n<p>The liquid limit (LL) is the water content at which a soil will flow under a standard shear stress. The plastic limit (PL) is the water content at which a soil will just begin to crumble when rolled into a thread 1\/8 inch in diameter.<\/p>\n<p>The plasticity index is an important parameter in soil mechanics because it is used to classify soils and to determine their engineering properties. Soils with a high PI are more difficult to work with and are more likely to be unstable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;0 < PI < 7\" option2=\"7\" option3=\"17\" option4=\"PI>27&#8243; correct=&#8221;option1&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[646],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-soil-mechanics-and-foundation","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>According to Atterberg, the soil is said to be of medium plasticity if the plasticity index PI is A. 0 &lt; PI &lt; 7 B. 7 C. 17 D.
