Orense University of Auckland, New Zealand ABSTRACT: Earthquake induced rock-block sliding is usually analyzed using friction angle measured at the sliding-interface. A tilt test is a convenient test for measuring the required values. However, a tilt test is a test under static condition, and the applicability of measured friction parameters to analyze block sliding under dynamic excitation requires further discussion. This study conducts a static tilt test and a dynamic shaking table test to simulate block sliding with base excitation, compares differences in measured sliding thresholds, and discusses the cause of these differences. Tests on three different materials (aluminium, sandstone, and synthetic sandstone) show that friction coefficients measured by tilt tests are always larger than the ones derived by shaking table tests. Moreover, high frequency tests yield larger friction coefficients, suggesting the sliding threshold is non-constant under excitation. In addition, tests with varying normal stresses of the sliding block show that with increasing contact stresses, sliding thresholds decrease, implying that sliding threshold varies with normal stress.
