A vane shear test was conducted in a saturated soft clay, using a 100 mm x 260 mm vane. When the vane was rotated at the standard rate of 0.1°/s, the torque measured in the torque meter increased to
60 N. m, and with further rotation reduced to 35 N. m. Determine the peak and residual undrained shear strengths of the clay.
