Transcribed Image Text:A vane shear test was performed on
saturated clay layer at the site and it
is noted that a torque of 45 N-m was
required to shear the soil. In order to
remould the soil, the vane was rotated
rapidly under the certain value of
torque say “x”. If the sensitivity of
the clay is 8, then calculate the value
of “x” in N-m.
Assume diameter and length of the
vane to be 70 mm and 130 mm
respectively, consider two way shearing,
