...Marissa P. Rauthause; Armin W. Stuedlein; Michael J. Olsen Still commonly used today, timber piles represent a cost-effective deep foundation alternative for carrying structural loads or densifying liquefaction-susceptible soil deposits. However, the range in interface shear friction angles between...

...Hisham T. Eid The peak and residual interface shear strengths for a variety of normally consolidated soils were measured using a torsional ring shear apparatus modified to suit soil and interface testing under the undrained condition, which is usually prevalent at soil–marine pipeline interfaces...

...Richard J. Bathurst; Sebastian Althoff; Peter Linnenbaum This paper reports the results of interface shear testing carried out to investigate the influence of test methodology on shear-displacement behavior of five different segmental (modular) masonry concrete block configurations. The tests were...

...A Ata; M O'Neill The aim of the present study was to improve understanding of the interaction of drilled shaft concrete, polymer slurry (used to stabilize boreholes during construction of the drilled shaft), and the foundation soil. Interface shear tests were performed in the laboratory...
