Table 3 Soil plasticity projection using the range of liquid limits11.
From: Foundation integrity assessment of failed buildings in Ehamufu and Aguamede, South East Nigeria
Description | Range of liquid limit | |
|---|---|---|
Lean or silly | Low plasticity | < 35 |
Intermediate | Intermediate plasticity | 35–50 |
Fat | High plasticity | 50–70 |
Very fat | Very high `plasticity | 70–90 |
Extra fat | Extra high plasticity | > 90 |
