angle of shearing resistance
angle of shearing resistance (internal angle of friction, angle of frictional resistance; φ) Approximate angle of repose for clean sand; it reduces with moisture content and is zero for a sheared, saturated clay. For rocks, a rough determination of the angle may be made by placing two small blocks of material together and inclining them until the top one slides.
