The value of [phi] in Coulomb's equation for cohesive soils, determined by experiment. The value is zero for a saturated clay sheared without change in moisture content, but for silts and clays in different conditions the value is not zero.

OBS

angle of shearing resistance: A term synonymous with angle of internal friction but normally limited to strength parameters of cohesive soils.

OBS

Compare with "angle of internal friction".

OBS

D'une façon générale, la résistance au cisaillement s d'un sol [...] est liée à la pression normale p [...] qu'il subit par l'équation linéaire : s = c + p tg [phi]. Par définition, [phi] est l'angle de frottement interne, et c la cohésion.
