I have a question to @Mr. V. Ramesh that how 89.55 becomes 88 and 23.65 becomes 23?

Hello @Mr.V Ramesh.

How come it possible Liquid limit = 70*(10/25)^0121 = 89.55%?

Please tell me, why we have to give 25 blows for to find the liquid limit of soil?

Flow index = (70-20)/log(100/10) = 50.
50 = (W-20)/log(100/25).
Therefore W = 50.

Flow index = -(W2-W1) / ln(N1/N2).

From the given data, it comes out to be 50.

Interpolation technique is very simple & easily understand to solve this..

Moisture content 10 blows 20%.
Moisture content 100 blows 70%.
Answer is 65%.

Please anyone explain the proper and simple definition of the liquid limit?

Ammar said:   9 years ago
Wrong answer.

By linear interpolation, for blows 25 find L L.

L. L = 61%.

Ritesh said:   9 years ago
According to me,

By using the method of interpolation, my answer is 50.10.
