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.

How does shear strength of fine sand effect by void ratio?

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.
