Abstract
The quantity of water that might be attracted by soil particles (aggregates) depends on the physico-chemical properties of minerals comprising those particles (aggregates). The intensity of electro-magnetic fields surrounding fine particles controls the thickness of water films which are adsorbed by them. The new formula describing a nonlinear relationship between liquid limit and plasticity index values is presented in this paper. The correctness of the proposed formula was verified using laboratory data where liquid limit values were determined using only percussion (dynamic) or falling cone (static) methods.
