Foundation elements with rough (textured) surfaces mobilize larger interface shear resistance than ones with conventional smooth or random rough surfaces when sheared against soils under monotonic loading. The overall performance of foundation elements such as piles supporting offshore wind turbines, suction caissons supporting tidal energy converters, soil nails, and soil anchors installed in cohesive soils could be enhanced through utilizing rough (textured) surfaces to resist applied static and/or cyclic loading. This paper describes the shear behavior of smooth and rough (textured) surfaces in kaolinite clay and kaolinite clay-sand mixture soils under static and cyclic axial loading. The experimental investigation presented herein consists of a series of interface shear tests performed on 3D printed rough (textured) surfaces and a 3D printed smooth reference surface utilizing the Cyclic Interface Shear Test system. The paper includes a description of the interface testing system components, cohesive soil specimens' preparation procedure, smooth and rough (textured) surfaces details, testing procedure, and results of static and cyclic tests. Test results indicate that kaolinite clay-sand mixture soil mobilized larger static and post-cyclic interface shear resistance and volume contraction relative to kaolinite clay soil when sheared against the smooth reference surface. When tested against rough (textured) surfaces with variable asperity height, larger shear resistance was mobilized and larger soil dilation greater than that mobilized by the reference untextured surface in both soils. The results also indicate rough (textured) surfaces exhibited a prevalent frictional anisotropy increases with asperity angle and height in cohesive soils, the surfaces mobilized larger shear resistance and volume change in one direction (i.e., against the asperity right-angled side) than the other direction (i.e., along the asperity inclined side).

The anisotropy of shear resistance depending on friction direction can be selectively utilized in geotechnical structures. For instance, deep foundations and soil nailing, which are subject to axial loads, benefit from increased load transfer due to greater shear resistance. In contrast, minimal shear resistance is desirable in applications such as pile driving and soil sampling. Previous studies explored the shear resistance by interface between soil and surface asperities of a plate inspired by the geometry of snake scales. In this study, the interface friction anisotropy based on the load direction of cones with surface asperities is evaluated. First, a laboratory model chamber and a small-scale cone system are developed to quantitatively assess shear resistance under two load directions (penetration -> pull-out). A preliminary test is conducted to analyze the boundary effects for the size of the model chamber and the distance between cones by confirming similar penetration resistance values at four cone penetration points. The interface shear behavior between the cone surface and the surrounding sand is quantitatively analyzed using cones with various asperity geometries under constant vertical stress. The results show that penetration resistance and pull-out resistance are increased with a higher height, shorter length of asperity and shearing direction with a decreasing height of surface asperity.
