Abstract
Frictional sliding on ground surfaces of granite, angle of sliding planes 30° and 45°, was investigated as a function of confining pressure. Over the normal stress range of 2–12 kb, the static frictional shear stress τ s follows the relationship τ s = 0·5 + 0· σ n and the kinetic frictional shear stress τ k was calculated to be τ k = 0·25 + 0·47 σ n .
