Influence of location of large-scale asperity on shear strength of concrete-rock interface under eccentric load

The location and geometry of large-scale asperity present at the foundation of concrete gravity dams and buttress dams affect the shear resistance of the concrete-rock interface. However, the parameters describing the frictional resistance of the interface usually do not account for these asperities...
