SIDEWALL FRICTION REDUCTION IN STATIC AND DYNAMIC SMALL BLAST LOAD GENERATOR TESTS.
Abstract
An experimental study was conducted to measure the magnitude of sidewall friction losses in 2- and 4-foot-deep, 4-foot-diameter, statically and dynamically loaded small blast load generator sand and clay specimens. An additional goal of the study was to reduce these losses if possible through the use of expendable greased liners. Literature concerning previous experimental and theoretical work on wall friction was reviewed, and a limited test series was conducted. The magnitudes of static wall friction losses in unlined sand and clay specimens were found to be compatible with theoretical computations for wall friction losses in deep circular bins. (Author)
