This document describes the vane shear test procedure used to determine the undrained shear strength of soft clays. Key details include: - The test involves inserting vanes into an undisturbed clay specimen and rotating them at a uniform rate until failure to measure the undrained shear strength. - Calculations are done to determine the shear strength from the torque measurement, using the vane diameter and height. - The test can also measure soil sensitivity by remolding the soil after the initial test and measuring the reduction in strength.
