In a liquid limit test, the moisture content at 10 blows was 70% and that at 100 blows was 20%. The liquid limit of the soil, is
35%
50%
65%

Liquid limit-water content by soil with small shear strength.

Plot it on semilog graph and find water contentbfor 25 blow.

Ranjan said:   8 years ago
50 % is the correct answer, interpolation is a wrong method.

Kasthuri said:   7 years ago
By interpolation with 25 we get the correct answer as 61.67.

Dipak said:   1 decade ago
By interpolation wL = 61.67.
By flow index method wL= 50.

ABHAY said:   7 years ago
You cannot use interpolation because it is semilog graph.

Sasi said:   8 years ago
Why we say liquid limit at 25 blows? What is the reason?

Narayan said:   8 years ago
How do you get 89.55 by this formula?

= W*(N/25)^0.121.

Pankaj said:   1 decade ago
Try it with coordinate geometry.

My answer is 63.33%.

(W1-w2)log (n2/n1).
(70-20) log 100/10.
50 per Answer.
