What is Vane Shear Test Laboratory Manual about?

This document is a laboratory manual for a geotechnical laboratory course. It describes a vane shear test procedure to determine the undrained shear strength of saturated clays. The test involves pushing a four-bladed vane into the soil and rotating it at a slow rate while measuring the torque. The maximum torque indicates the shear strength when the soil fails along the cylindrical surface around the vane. The test provides a simple, quick and cost-effective way to estimate in-situ soil shear strengths.
