Strength anisotropy at soil-structure interfaces with snake skin inspired structural surfaces

Typical soil-structure interfaces exhibit a response that is independent of loading direction due to the symmetry of the surfaces' profile. This study presents results from an experimental investigation on the response of sand specimens sheared against three types of surfaces bio-inspired from...
