A study of frictional interface properties between typical South African
sands and construction materials

ABSTRACT: Numerous approximations are used to determine the footing material-soil interface friction
angle for the design of foundations. The approximations are generalised and very often result in inaccurate
estimations for respective soil/foundation materials interactions. This study investigated the interface properties
of two common South African sandy soils ...
