Friction factor, wood foundation base to gravel
(OP)
I'm looking for a reference to determine an appropriate friction factor between a treated wood sill plate (square shape) and gravelly sand soil with no backfill restraint.

I use for rubber tire traction coefficients on sand and gravel approx. 0.3 to 0.4. My guess is wood should be a little higher,thus 0.5 is my estimate.
