Typical Cohesion and Internal Friction Values

This document defines and provides references for typical soil parameters: 1. It describes void ratio, internal friction angle, cohesion, dry unit weight, Young's modulus, permeability, and porosity. 2. For each parameter, it lists several references such as textbooks, standards, and reports that provide more information on measuring and applying the parameters. 3. The references include publications from Switzerland, the US, and modeling guides and are aimed at geotechnical engineers and soil mechanics practitioners.
