  2. Moisture content
  3. Soil density
  4. Soil color

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following factors does NOT affect the angle of internal friction (φ) of a soil?
  • Step 1: Understand what the angle of internal friction (φ) is. It is a measure of how much resistance soil has to sliding or shearing.
  • Step 2: Identify the factors that can affect the angle of internal friction. These include particle shape, moisture content, and density.
  • Step 3: Recognize that soil color is not related to the physical properties that influence the angle of internal friction.
  • Step 4: Conclude that among the options given, soil color does NOT affect the angle of internal friction (φ).
