Soil Shear Strength at the Structure Interface

  • DESIGN
  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

The article presents the results of studies on soil shear strength at the interface of structures made of various materials. The authors propose procedures for performing direct shear tests at the soil-structure interface and determining the interface shear parameters according to cone penetration data. Recommendations for considering the type of construction material in soil-structure interaction calculations are provided.
