Coefficient of Friction

This document lists various coefficients of friction that should be considered when calculating sliding friction forces between different material pairs, including concrete to soil, steel to steel, brick masonry to various surfaces, cement blocks and concrete to other materials, and wood. It notes that friction is generally higher between dry surfaces of the same material than wet surfaces.

Brick Masonry on moist clay 0.33
Brick Masonry on dry clay 0.50
Brick Masonry on sand 0.40
Brick Masonry on gravel 0.60
Brick Masonry to Brick 0.70
Brick Masonry on rock 0.75
Granite on Granite 0.60
Limestone on Limestone 0.75
Cement Blocks on Cement Blocks 0.65
Cement concrete on dry clay 0.40
Cement concrete on wet clay 0.20
Cement concrete on wet sand 0.40
Cement concrete on dry sand 0.50 - 0.60
