... skin friction. It is shown that the existing design methods, which are based primarily on correlations with unconfined compressive strength, are not appropriate for Irish rock socketed piles. Mobilised ultimate skin friction values are shown to be highly dependent on fracture spacing. It is suggested...

... ABSTRACT: Although the shear strength expression proposed by Coulomb (1776) for masonry, brick and earth, made up of cohesion and friction components, is still in general use today, it was not until Terzaghi (1936) presented the principle of effective stress that it could be used...

... ABSTRACT: The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is an instrument that can offer an ability to investigate friction arising from a single ÔperfectÕ contact between surfaces. We have studied the variation of frictional force with externally applied load for a silicon AFM tip contacting a quartz...

... as a theoretical base of practical geotechnics. Extensive development of empirical methods shows that basic principles of classical soil mechanics often fails to explain physical background while creation of calculation methods and technology development. For non-cohesive and frictional soils it can be explained...

And, in particular, to see the influence of increasing modulus of deformation and of the angle of friction of soft soil, along the height...

... ABSTRACT: Many piles with various lengths and plates were tested in Khon Kaen loess. The critical depth of driven and bored piles was found to be 9.5 and 7.5 times that of pile size respectively. The pile friction was the effective stress multiplied by 0.5 and 0.3 for driven and bored piles...

... ABSTRACT: One of the common reasons for uneven settlement of existing structures, founded on pile foundations, is the negative skin friction (NF) developed along the piles. In the past, several experimental studies on negative friction have been carried out to understand the above mechanism...

... of friction, μs. This may enable μs to be inferred for naturally-sheared discontinuities from an analysis of shear debris. INTRODUCTION The concept of the dominant parting plane was proposed by Smart (1981, 1986) following observations made of strata deformation processes around mine excavations...
