What is Vane Shear Test for Soil Shear Strength about?

The vane shear test determines the shear strength of soft, saturated clays. It uses a vane apparatus with four shear vanes that are inserted into a soil sample. As torque is applied, the soil fails at a point indicated by the return of a strain pointer. The difference between initial and final pointer readings gives the angle of applied torque. Using this, along with the vane dimensions and spring factor, the test calculates the average shear strength of the soil sample in kg/cm2. The vane shear test is use
