Coefficient of Friction for Steel on Concrete 9

A recent project has a small structure with equipment constructed on a steel 'skid'. I have to design restraints to keep it in place. I'm thinking that the coefficient of friction for the steel to concrete would be in the order of 0.2 to 0.25. I'll apply a FOS to this value. Does anyone have a reference for a coefficient of friction?

Thanks in advance.

I have no idea of how CFRP strands function in PC, but if they are like steel strands. Depending on the sheathing material, the friction may be minimal.

Thank you.
Do you know how to apply prestressing to strands in ABAQUS?
 
I've never used ABAQUS...
