    Explanation of “GI” the Group Index

    GI = (F - 35)[ 0.2 + 0.005 (LL-40) ] + 0.01 (F - 15) (PI - 10)

    o F = Percent of soil passing the 0.075 mm sieve


    o LL = Liquid Limit
    o PI = Plastic Index

    a) Soils which are non-plastic and for which the Liquid Limit cannot be found have GI = 0.
    b) A-2-6 and A-2-7 soils use only the second term of GI equation.
    c) If the final GI has a negative number, it is reported as zero (0).
    d) Although not explicitly expressed in either the AASHTO or ASTM specifications, GI for A-2-4 and A-2-5 are zero.
