Soil properties

[saos]

Hi gents,

I need to clarify some points regarding geotechnical data. Here I all have are soil cohesion= 75 kPa and the soil is S class soil. with those data, is there any way to get ideas about internal friction angle and soil density? ( I don't have a geotech report atm)

Thank you

No, is the short answer. Without something better to hang your hat on

Density can be measured by nuclear densometer or estimated for saturated soils from moisture contents. To obtain a friction angle that would come from a triaxial or simple shear test or correlated from index field and lab tests.
