Field and Laboratory-based Approach for the Determination of Friction Angle of Geological Discontinuities of Malaysian Granites
The basic friction angle, Φb for artificially sawn discontinuity planes for fresh granite, as determined by tilt testing, has an average value of 30º. For the natural rough discontinuity surfaces, a wide range of values have been determined for the peak friction angle, Φpeak ranging from 47º to a ma...
