Friction between soil and r/f concrete
Friction between soil and r/f concrete
(OP)
Hi,
Could someone provide me information on friction coefficient between soil and reinforced concrete surfaces, please?
Or else, the method to calculate the friction coefficient between the two surfaces.
Thanx in advance

To check the stability of a retaining structure against sliding it is necessary to know the friction at the interface. I believe that depending on the surface texture of the concrete this value varies and I couldn't find any relevant material.

Check NAVFAC DM-7.2 pg.7.2-63, downloadable from the web at Vulcanhammer, I think.

It's very readable - and quite practical. And it will change the way you look at risk -
