Product description

The In-Situ / Field Vane Shear Test is a highly effective and reliable method for directly measuring the shear strength of cohesive soils at construction sites. This test is critical in geotechnical engineering to assess soil stability, evaluate load-bearing capacity, and guide foundation design decisions.

Key Features of the In-Situ / Field Vane Shear Test Equipment

  1. Field Use Capability: Designed specifically for on-site testing, eliminating the need to transport soil samples to a laboratory.
  2. Accurate Shear Strength Measurement: Directly measures the undrained shear strength of cohesive soils like clays and silts, providing essential data for geotechnical analysis.
  3. Portable Design: Lightweight and compact for easy transportation, enabling use in remote locations and diverse field conditions.
  4. Simple Operation: User-friendly and intuitive, the test procedure can be conducted quickly without the need for complex setups or extensive training.
  5. Durable Construction: Manufactured with stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring durability and long-term reliability in challenging environments.
  6. Versatility: Suitable for testing various cohesive soils, making it an invaluable tool across construction projects, infrastructure development, and geotechnical site investigations.

Applications of the Field Vane Shear Test

  1. Foundation Design: Evaluate soil strength to ensure safe and stable foundation construction for buildings, bridges, and other structures.
  2. Slope Stability Analysis: Determine soil stability for embankments, dams, and earth slopes.
  3. Soil Improvement Assessment: Test the effectiveness of soil stabilization techniques in improving shear strength.
  4. Geotechnical Investigations: Obtain critical soil data during feasibility studies for infrastructure projects like roads, tunnels, and retaining walls.

Advantages of the In-Situ Vane Shear Test

  • Real-Time Results: Provides immediate shear strength data for timely decision-making at the construction site.
  • Cost-Effective: Saves time and expenses by eliminating the need for extensive laboratory testing.
  • Non-Destructive Testing: Conducts tests directly on soil in its natural state, maintaining its structure and properties.
  • Wide Applicability: Suitable for use in various industries, including construction, oil and gas, and infrastructure development.
