The consistency index of a soil is defined as the ratio of
liquid limit plus the natural water content to the plasticity index of the soil
liquid limit minus the natural water content to the plasticity index of the soil
natural water content of a soil minus plastic limit to the plasticity index of the soil
natural water content of a soil plus its plastic limit to the plasticity index of the soil.
