Results reported that the liquid limit and
plasticity index of the specimen increased in the initial period of the drying-wetting cycles followed by a stable state in the latter period.
3, total dimensionless normal contact stiffness [K.sup.*.sub.n] changes with the total dimensionless contact load P* and the fractal dimension's influence on total dimensionless normal contact stiffness, we select fractal dimension D = 1.1, D = 1.9 respectively, and simulate the fractal roughness parameters G* and
plasticity index [empty set] 's impact on the total dimensionless normal contact stiffness.
Optimum moisture content of cohesive soils increases whereas the maximum dry unit weight obtained through compaction tests decreases with
plasticity index of soil (Berawala, Solanki 2010; Pandian et al.
Their equations are also based on a modified hyperbolic model, which includes some variables namely shear strain amplitude, confining pressure, and
plasticity index (PI).
(ii) Both values of liquid limit and plastic limit increase and the
plasticity index decreases with increasing percentages of both types of fly ash content.

9 Standard tests for Limit Liquid, Plastic Limit and
Plasticity Index of soils.
This result supports the aforementioned Atterberg limit test in which Datu Salomay also obtained the highest
plasticity index. All the soil samples showed a passing percentage of more than 10% for sieve no.

Bray and Sancio [53] proposed that fine-grained soil with a
plasticity index equal to or less than 12 and natural water content equal to or greater than 0.85 liquid limit has liquefaction potential.
The relative distance
plasticity index (RDPI) measures the relative distances between values of architectural parameters measured for all pairs of individuals growing in different physiognomies.
Common abbreviations (such as "xpct" for "expecting" and "trrn" for terrain") defined side-by-side along with a host of engineering words and phrases, from "activity" ("ratio of the
plasticity index to the percent by dry mass of soil particles finer than 0.002 mm [2 microns] in size") to "zonal flow" ("large-scale atmospheric flow in which the east-west component [i.e.
