The vane shear test is an in-situ geotechnical testing method used to estimate the undrained shear strength of fully saturated clays without disturbance. The test is relatively simple, quick,  and provides a cost-effective way of estimating the soil shear strength. The results of the vane shear test are not reliable if clay contains silt or sand. Under special condition, the vane shear test can be also carried out in the laboratory on undisturbed soil specimens; however, the use of the vane shear test in in-situ testing is much more common. Below you will find the necessary parts for vane shear testing.
