Some parameters are material parameters. They depend on the nature of the
grains and are related to soil classification parameters. Other parameters are state
dependent parameters; they are often related to the state by parameters which are
themselves material parameters.

In choosing design parameters allowance should be made for variations in test
results due to natural variations of soil in the ground and due to experimental
variations.
