Soil Consistency

This document contains soil property data including the plasticity index (Ip), liquidity index (Is), undrained shear strength (Su) classifications for different soil types, and values for normalized dissipation (Jp, Js) of excess pore water pressure after loading for various soil consistencies. The soil types range from very soft to hard and the corresponding normalized dissipation values decrease with increasing soil stiffness.
