ABSTRACT
Broms (1966) has related the values of K s and 8 to the effective angle of internal friction ¢J of
cohesionless soils for various pile materials and relative densities (Dr) as shown in Table 15.2. The values are applicable to driven piles. As per the present state of knowledge, the maximum skin friction is limited to 110 kN/m2 (Tomlinson, 1986).
