... The measurement of both residual and remolded shear strength using the vane shear apparatus is discussed. Residual shear strength is defined to be measured after 90° of vane rotation. In contrast, remolded shear strength is dependent on whether it is measured by vane remolding or hand remolding...

... is generally difficult, and laboratory tests for determination of shear strength are also difficult for designing foundations of earth fills. In contrast, the vane shear test is a simple as well as reliable method in the hands of research workers. Five sites for reclamation of dykes and road embankments...

... strengths of the deep sea clay are 26% higher than those of core samples. The shear strength profile for the shallow water sediment is quite different from that of a nearby core. in situ shear strength vane shear comparison autonomous Armand J. Silva 1and Robert M.
