Vane shear test is typically done for clay because clay is more likely to exhibit shearing behavior due to its cohesive nature, which requires a specific method to determine its strength properties. Sand, on the other hand, is generally considered non-cohesive and is better tested using other methods such as direct shear or triaxial tests to determine its strength properties.
Clay sand is a type of soil composed of a combination of clay and sand particles. It is often found in areas where the two types of particles have mixed together naturally, resulting in a soil type that contains properties of both clay and sand. Clay sand can be challenging to work with because it tends to be compacted and has poor drainage.
Clay is the most dense soil type, followed by silt and then sand. Clay particles are finer and more closely packed, which gives clay a higher density compared to silt and sand.
Gravel is typically heavier than sand, and therefore gravel would be heavier than both clay and sand. This is because gravel consists of larger-sized particles and has a higher density compared to clay and sand.
Yes, clay particles are very small, smaller than sand particles.
Clay holds more water than sand and silt. Clay particles are smaller and create a denser structure that can hold water more effectively than the larger particles of sand and silt.
Shear strength of fine sand is determined by the angularity of the sand particles, the grading of the sand. These two features governs the critical state shear strength parameters of the sand. Density, however, dictates the peak shear strength of the sand. i.e. the denser the sand, the higher the peak shear strength. But the critical shear strength remain the same. The denser the sand, the lower the void ratio. Shear strength of fine sand is determined by the angularity of the sand particles, the grading of the sand.

shear stress at failure?
swamp+sand=clay
mud+sand=clay
Clay is soft and sand is like sand water
Their both the same, really, just two different names for sand with clay in it, however one might have more clay in one (sandy clay) than the other (clayey sand), but only by miniscule amounts.
Yes if the sand is on the clay it can roll even if the sand was not on the clay.The clay can still roll.
Swamp + sand = clay it is really... Mud+sand = clay
sand because, sand ranges in size from .2 cm in diameter to .006 cm in diameter and clay's largest diameter is .0004 cm in diameter.
Clay is introduced to the sand for the sand to help mantain its shape when forming. and it make the mould hard and to retain the casting the clay is tow types one is active clay and dead clay
clay
Water + stone = sand Sand + swamp = clay
