The Importance of Interfaces in Geotechnical Foundation Systems
Significant insights into the characteristics and role of interfaces in geotechnical systems have been developed over the past three decades. In particular, interfaces between soils and man-made inclusions represent an opportunity to develop both new foundation systems as well as analysis procedures to predict their performance. This paper presents a summary of experimental insights that have been developed and their implications on the design of deep foundation systems. These studies examined the role of surface roughness in interface shear behavior, including the influence of “random” versus “structured” roughness patterns that can significantly affect the strength of interfaces. Furthermore, the effects of normal stress and relative hardness are revisited. The opportunity to impact foundation performance based on these insights is discussed.
