Question:

The following data were obtained from a liquid-limit test on a silty clay. Two plastic-limit determinations had water contents of 23.1% and 23.6%. Determine the LL, PI, the flow index, and the toughness index. The flow index is the slope of the water content versus log of number of blows in the liquid-limit test, and the toughness index is the PI divided by the flow index.
