Re: Angle Of Internal Friction For Salt
It depends:
(1)for coarse salts, about 42~38 degree;
(2)medium-coarse salts, about 40~36 degree;
(3)fine salts, about 36~28 degree. ■
Re: Angle Of Internal Friction For Salt
Sounds like 30 degrees is a conservative number to use. The smaller phi is, the larger the Rankine active earth pressure coefficient. ■

Thanks
If you are talking about the angle of repose formed in a pile then it is 32 degrees. I have worked in the salt business for over 30 years and have measured it many times. ■

Angle Of Internal Friction For Salt
Re: Angle Of Internal Friction For Salt
The angle of repose is totally different than the angle of internal friction. The angle of internal friction is from Rankine's earth pressure theory. ■
Angle of Internal Friction for Salt
I'm designing a salt shed that will store road salt for deicing roadways. I can't seem to find an angle of internal friction for road salt. I have an old design that listed it as 30 degrees. Loose or very loose sand would be around 30 degrees. Does someone have a number they use?
