Consistency Index (Ic) or Relative Consistency is the ratio of a difference between the liquid limit and the natural water content to the plasticity index.
The consistency index indicates the in-situ behaviour of a soil deposit which fine grained and is saturated with its natural water content.
Ic = Wl − WP / IP
The Liquidity index is defined as the ratio of the difference in between the
soil's natural water content and the plastic limit to its Ip (plasticity index).
IL = WN − WP / IP
