railway RRB JE (CBT I + CBT II) Mock Test 2024 Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Shear Strength
At a depth of 6 m below the ground surface at a site, a vane shear test gave a torque value of 6040 N-cm. The vane was 10 cm high and 7 cm across the blades. Estimate the shear strength of the soil and choose the correct answer from the following options.
1
64 kN/m2
2
69 kN/m2
3
72 kN/m2
4
62 kN/m2
