  Theoretical predictions for standard model (SM) processes involving top
quarks, such as top quark-antiquark pair or single top production, depend on
fundamental SM parameters like the strong coupling constant or the top quark
mass. By confronting predictions with measurements performed at the ATLAS and
CMS Collaboration using data collected at the CERN LHC in the second data
taking period, these parameters can be determined precisely. In these
proceedings, recent results measuring SM and top quark properties are
presented.
