    Coefficient of friction between granular soil and wood

    In the absense of additional data, I would agree with Geo69, but I would also use the guidance from DM 7.2-194, regarding piles and soil friction. The friction angle (delta) between timber piles and soil is 3/4 of phi. So, Using 26 degrees as the delta, phi would be 4*26/3, or about 35...
