A vane shear test was performed on a clay layer using a vane with a diameter of 75.8 mm and a height of 151.6 mm. The vane was inserted to the total length of the vane (151.6 mm) but the top edge was exposed. The maximum moment required to rotate the vane was measured as 145 N·m. The liquid and plastic limits of the soil were 48 and 21, respectively. Determine the design undrained shear strength of the clay.
