What does a high liquid limit indicate in a soil?
A. Low water retention
B. High plasticity and compressibility
C. Low permeability
D. High shear strength
E. 2
Solution (By Examveda Team)
A high liquid limit implies the soil remains plastic over a wider range of moisture content.This suggests greater compressibility and potential instability under load.This Question Belongs to Geological Engineering >> Engineering Properties Of Rocks And Soils
