Question
The value of the toughness index of most of soils lies between -
The correct answer is
0 to 3
I_T = (I_P)/(I_F) The plasticity index (I_P) is the difference between the liquid limit (w_L) and the plastic limit (w_P) of a soil (I_P = w_L - w_P). While some very specific soils might have values slightly outside this range, 0 to 3 is considered the characteristic range for the majority of natural soils.
