Determination of failure zone of vane shear test using artificial transparent soil

The vane shear test method is used extensively in a variety of geotechnical exploration to determine the undrained shear strength fine grained clays and silts. A small scale physical model was developed to study the failure mechanism during the vane shear test. The soil was simulated using a mixture...
