This coefficient is usually obtained by conducting either sliding shear test or pull-out test. It is not always possible for a field engineer to conduct pull–out tests to design a prototype-reinforced earth retaining structure. However, direct shear test facilities are generally available and sliding shear tests can be performed easily to obtain the value of friction coefficient ( µ). In this paper an attempt has been made to develop a correlation between coefficient of friction ( µ) obtained from sliding shear test and apparent coefficient of friction (f*) determined from pull-out test. Effect of overburden pressure and length of reinforcement has been incorporated. Effect of width of strips and strain rate on apparent coefficient of friction (f*) has also been studied. The effect of width of strip on apparent coefficient of friction (f*) is very small. Increase in values of apparent coefficient of friction (f*) was observed with increase in strain rate. 2011-09-04T08:31:42Z 2011-09-04T08:31:42Z 2005-06 Article The Journal of the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, vol. 66(2), 2005, pages 38-45 0126-513X http://www.myiem.org.my/content/iem_journal_2005-176.aspx http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/13669 en The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia
