SUMMARY
The coefficients of friction between various surfaces and concrete are critical for understanding material interactions in construction and engineering. The coefficient of friction for steel on concrete is established at 0.45. While specific values for aluminium and iron on concrete were not provided, it is noted that the surface texture of concrete (rough vs. smooth) significantly influences friction more than the type of metal in contact. This indicates that surface preparation is essential for optimizing frictional performance.
