... the potential for model-scale testing to replicate the ageing characteristic of shaft friction in a laboratory environment. The study employs a number of model piles installed in reconstituted, high-plasticity Onsoy clay in laboratory pressure chambers. The first-time tension load tests on these piles...

...Mark Talesnick; Motti Ringel The development and application of a boundary friction meter is presented. The friction meter was designed to allow for the measurement of a resultant shear stress on a planar interface between a structural boundary and a soil mass. Calibrations illustrate...
