Till is a term describing an unsorted sediment of varying composition. It consists of several different grain sizes and can contain different amounts of clay. As the angle of internal friction is based on the cohesion and grain size of the material the answer is that it varies depending on the composition of the specific till.

What is the effect of density on the friction angle of sands?
The friction angle of the mixture increases the relative density.
What is a Phi angle?
The Phi angle is usually the second unknown angle after theta. It is typically used in the argument of a complex number, the phase of a wave in signal processing, in spherical coordinates, as one of the dihedral angles in the backbones of proteins in a Ramachandran plot, and as the internal or effective angle of friction.
Friction angle of shale?
Its limits are 30 to 35 degrees.
What is turbulent viscocity?
Turbulent viscosity is a value which is assumed to be equal in all directions. It is the same as Eddy Viscosity This is a measure of a fluid which is being deformed by stress. The fact that it is turbulent just means it is changing so the internal friction or viscosity is changing constantly and this is why it is called turbulent. the internal friction is the friction within the object hence the term internal however this friction derives from the force of the fluid acting on the object. E.G if air is your fluid surrounding the object and the object is experiencing a change in the velocity of the air it will be exposed to a different amount of stress and will therefore have a different value for internal friction.
What are bearing capacity factors?
Bearing capacity is the ability of the underlying soil to support the foundation loads without shear failure. Bearing capacity factors are empirically derived factors used in a bearing capacity equation that usually correlates with the angle of internal friction of the soil.
