Vane Shear Tests for Geotechnical Stability by iliava is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the interpretation of vane shear tests for geotechnical stability calculations. It provides evidence from numerical analyses and experimental data that the vane shear test measures the undrained strength of soil under simple shear conditions at the horizontal effective stress. As such, there is no need to correct the field vane strength for stability analyses if the soil strength is normalized by the normal stress on the slip surface. Finite element analyses confirm that the standard
