In this study, the direct shear test and model pullout test results are presented to assess the impact of soil fines content and shear resistance characteristics of the pile–soil interface on the pullout resistance of drilled shafts. The direct shear test on the soil–pile interface was conducted based on the pile surface simulated using sandpaper with three roughness types (#24, #40, and #400) and varying fines content. The direct shear test results of soil showed that the internal friction angle decreased by about 29% and the cohesion increased by about 110% when the fine powder content increased from 5% to 30%. Specifically, in the case of soil–sandpaper (#24), the interface friction angle decreased by about 31%, and the adhesion increased by about 16%. The sandpaper with a roughness of #40 and #400 also showed a similar trend. Normalizing the shear strength parameters from the direct shear test demonstrated an intersection between the normalized curves of the friction angle and cohesion (or adhesion) within a specific fines content range. This suggests that shear strength parameters play a significant role based on fines content. Analyzing the normalized index using model pullout test results indicated the necessity to evaluate the contribution of friction angle and cohesion (or adhesion) of the shear surface, taking into account the fines content of the soil for predicting pile pullout resistance.
