decreases with decrease in normal is directly proportional to the angle of internal friction of the soil decreases with increase in normal is inversely proportional to the angle of internal friction of the soil
optimum water content increases but maximum dry density decreases optimum water content decreases but maximum dry density increases both optimum water content and maximum dry density increase both optimum water content and maximum dry density
constant for any type of soil different for different types of soils and also different for a soil under different states of consolidation different for different types of soils but same for a soil under different states of consolidation independent of type of soil but depends on the stress history of soil
