This paper describes the results of an experimental investigation on the coefficient of friction at the interface of a PVC–sand–PVC layer that is utilised as part of a low-cost geotechnical seismic isolation devised to be used in low-income countries. The PVC–sand–PVC configuration consists of two smooth PVC surfaces enclosing a single layer of sand grains, with surface densities between 0.5 kg/m2and 3 kg/m2, which aim to facilitate relative sliding at friction resistance between 0.15 and 0.30 depending on the design acceleration, by acting like “non-perfectly rounded ball bearings”. The latter isolation method has been extensively studied both numerically and experimentally by means of large-scale testing at the shaking table of the EQUALS Earthquake Laboratory of the University of Bristol. However, in the light of the construction of the first building worldwide to be designed and constructed in Nepal with the particular low-cost PVC–sand–PVC sliding interface, it was deemed necessary to reliably assess the mean and dispersion of the coefficient of friction as a function of vertical pressure, sand density and degree of saturation. The results of the tests performed using an improved direct shear apparatus are presented herein using sand samples and PVC sheets that were locally resourced in Nepal to be used in construction. The results indicate that the variation of friction is reasonably low and in any case within the desirable range, irrespectively of the parameters examined, thus establishing confidence to the forthcoming design of the novel isolated building.
