Coefficient of resistance to slip-sliding on friction surfaces of overlapping steel plates

GB 50017-2003 Code for design of steel structures

In January 2005, ZINGA coated plates have been tested according GB 50017 to assess the slip friction coefficient (µ).

The results indicate that ZINGA coated plates have increased friction (compared to bare steel or galvanised steel) with results of µ between 0.5 and 0.7. This is beneficial for construction.
