Where, j is the Schmidt rebound number on a wet and weathered surface. J is the Schmidt rebound number on a dry, sawn and fresh surface. J and j are quantities of the hardness of the rock material on dry, sawn and unweathered respectively wet and weathered fracture surfaces. They can be estimated in field by the method of the Schmidt hammer (Barton, 1973). In fresh conditions, J and j are similar which gives a j/J ratio of one and thereby, the equation shows that the angles are equal.
Thank you Sir for your early response. It is surely helpful. Is there any indirect method to calculate basic frictional angle. Any correlation data etc?
