Abstract
We study the influence of solid friction on the structure of the force network sustaining a regular bidimensional granular piling. We show how the mechanical equations describing local equilibrium, couple naturally with a stochastic variable. A Monte-Carlo method is designed to extract sets of force networks satisfying static equilibrium. Hence a statistical ensemble is constructed and we study some structural and stochastic properties. We address, in particular, the question of transport of the vertical charge.
