The plasticity index is the size of the range of water contents where the soil exhibits plastic properties. The PI is the difference between the liquid and plastic limits (PI = LL-PL). Soils with a high PI tend to be clay, those with a lower PI tend to be silt, and those with a PI of 0 (non-plastic) tend to have little or no silt or clay.

The quadratic Hill yield criterion [1] has the form : + + + + + = . Here F, G, H, L, M, N are constants that have to be determined experimentally and are the stresses. The quadratic Hill yield criterion depends only on the deviatoric stresses and is pressure independent.
Figure 1: View of Drucker–Prager yield surface in 3D space of principal stresses for =, =. The Drucker–Prager yield criterion [1] is a pressure-dependent model for determining whether a material has failed or undergone plastic yielding.
The two plastic limit theorems apply to any elastic-perfectly plastic body or assemblage of bodies. Lower limit theorem: If an equilibrium distribution of stress can be found which balances the applied load and nowhere violates the yield criterion, the body (or bodies) will not fail, or will be just at the point of failure.
Because cosine is an even function and the range of the inverse cosine is usually we take the negative possible value for the term, thus ensuring that is positive. 3 θ c = ± ( 3 θ s − π 2 ) {\displaystyle 3\theta _{c}=\pm \left(3\theta _{s}-{\frac {\pi }{2}}\right)}
For a positive normalised number, it can be represented as m 0.m 1 m 2 m 3...m p−2 m p−1 (where m represents a significant digit, and p is the precision) with non-zero m 0. Notice that for a binary radix , the leading binary digit is always 1.
Furthermore, it is a failure mode independent criterion, as it does not predict the way in which the material will fail, as opposed to mode-dependent criteria such as the Hashin criterion, or the Puck failure criterion. This can be important as some types of failure can be more critical than others.
