Soil at the liquid limit will have a consistency index of 0, while soil at the plastic limit will have a consistency index of 1 and if W > LL, Ic is negative. As the friction coefficient increases the initial plastic zone moves closer to the surface and unconstrained plastic flow occurs at a lower normal pressure.

The variation of moisture content and Atterberg limit with organic matter content indicates that OC = 7.5% may be the limit value for the different forms of organic matter in the clay. On the other hand, if the fluids are allowed to freely drain out of the pores, then the pore pressures will remain constant and the test path is called a drained stress path.

Based on the SPT data an empirical correlation has been established between standard penetration number N and internal friction angle to predict the friction angle of soils. These limits were created by Albert Atterberg, a Swedish chemist and agronomist, in 1911. The friction angle controls the shape of the yield surface in the deviatoric plane as shown in Figure 18.3.3-2.The friction angle can range from .In the case of the Mohr-Coulomb model reduces to the pressure-independent Tresca model with a perfectly hexagonal deviatoric section. The moisture content at which it takes 25 drops of the cup to cause the groove to close over a distance of 12.7 millimetres (0.50in) is defined as the liquid limit. The PI is the difference between the liquid limit and the plastic limit (PI = LL-PL). The plastic limit (PL) is determined by rolling out a thread of the fine portion of a soil on a flat, non-porous surface. 2023 Springer Nature Switzerland AG. 11 0 obj
