Strength anisotropy at soil-structure interfaces with snake skin inspired structural surfaces
Typical soil-structure interfaces exhibit a response that is independent of loading direction due to the symmetry of the surfaces’ profile. This study presents results from an experimental investigation on the response of sand specimens sheared against three types of surfaces bio-inspired from the skin along the underside of snakes. The results of shear box interface shear tests indicate that all three surfaces exhibit significant anisotropy in response in terms of mobilized shear resistances and corresponding volumetric changes. A discussion on the practical implications and potential benefits of implementation of the snake skin-inspired surfaces in engineering design is provided.
