A vane shear test was conducted in a saturated soft clay,using a 100 mm 3 200 mm vane. When the vane was rotatedat the standard rate of 0.1°/s, the torque measured inthe torque meter increased to 60 N ? m, and with further rotationreduced to 35 N ? m.

Test for Determination of Shear Strength

The term shear strength is often associated with the soil. Shear strength is defined as the resistance to the deformation of soil particles due to the continuous action of shear stress. In short, shear strength is the maximum shear stress that a soil can sustain.
