I have seen a correlation plotting liquidity index against plasticity index, with zones on the plot to indicate low, medium, and high stickiness potential relative to tunneling in a clay soil. I understand it is from a paper in German, but have been unsuccessful in finding the reference. Anyone familiar with this?
