About this document

Laboratory Vane Shear Test Procedure by shiva is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document describes procedures for conducting a vane shear test to determine the undrained shear strength of saturated soft clay specimens. The objectives are to measure strength in vertical and horizontal directions and compare to unconfined compression tests. The vane test involves inserting a four-bladed vane into a specimen and measuring the torque required to shear the soil as the vane rotates. Specimens will be tested vertically and horizontally to evaluate strength anisotropy.
