The United States Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) commonly performs this test method to help inform numerical modeling of earth embankment dams when undergoing a risk analysis or design. Although the test method itself has been a geotechnical tool for quite some time, its primary use has traditionally been limited to sites with soft and/or relatively shallow clay soil. Typically, embankment and foundation materials of interest at Reclamation facilities are at greater depths, under higher effective stresses, and can be relatively stiff. Testing of stronger soils poses issues when performing the VST; typical commercially available equipment has a limited torque capacity to cause yielding of the soil. As a solution, modifying the dimensions and aspect ratio of the vane is an economic means of increasing the measurable range of undrained strength. Yet, the effects of these modifications are not well understood. Soil strength anisotropy is one of the primary components of this uncertainty. Testing on a sandy lean clay has been conducted to enable side by side comparisons of traditional aspect ratio vanes versus the proposed modified vanes to quantify the potential differences in measured undrained strength. In addition, measured undrained strengths from the various vanes are compared to results of laboratory testing on the same sandy lean clay (i.e., direct simple shear and triaxial compression) to provide a better understanding of the differences between the in-situ and laboratory test methods. This paper presents the apparatus developed to allow full scale vane shear tests to be conducted in the laboratory and summarizes the results of tests on a normally consolidated sandy lean clay.</div></td><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #333333; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #e6e6e6; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>The field Vane Shear Test (VST) is a widely used in-situ test method to measure undrained shear strength and sensitivity of saturated, fine-grained soils.
