internal friction angle

[Yihan]

Any literature giving info for internal friction angle for different type of soil( generally). I searched previous threads,links provided were expired.
Thanks

 

[Yihan]

any suggest for internal friction angle for "loose to compact, moist, brown sand, some gravel and silt"

 

[jgailla]

Any geotechnical college text should have such a reference. Try Das "Principles of Geotechnical Engineering" if you've lost your textbook from college.

I agree with jgailla. Many book have estimates of soil friction angles, as does the internet.

Also, do a search for NAVFAC DM-7.2, Foundations and Earth Structures, Table 1, Page 7.2-39.
