Specifies the coefficient of friction between pipe and soil. If the undrained shear strength is entered, the friction coefficient may be left blank. The friction coefficient is calculated using the following equation:

Friction Coefficient = Su/0.4167E + 1

Typical friction coefficient values are:

  • Silt - 0.4

  • Sand - 0.5

  • Gravel - 0.6

  • Clay - 0.6 or Su/ 0.4167E + 1
