A shear vane of length 150 mm and diameter 50 mm was used to measure the shear strength
of saturated clay. The torque required at failure of the clay was 50 N-m.
a) Assuming a triangular stress distribution along the vane ends, estimate the shear strength
of the clay in kPa.
b)
On this clay, how deep can excavation advance without lateral support?
Assume y= 18 kN/m³.
