Calculate the chohesion of the clay in the natural states

Reference no: EM13300740

A vane, 10 cm long and 8 cm in diameter, was pressed into soft clay at the bottom of a bore hole. Torque was applied and gradually increased 45 N-m when failure took place. Subsequently the vane rotated rapidly so as to completely remould the soil. The remoulded soil was sheared at a torque of 18 N-m. Calculate the chohesion of the clay in the natural and remoulded states and also the value of sensitivity
