Abstract
The in situ vane shear test is one of the most common in situ tests to obtain the shear strength of soft soil. Based on the data of the in situ vane shear tests of mucky soft soil in Zhoushan, change law of vane shear strength of mucky soft soil with depth is analyzed. The test results show that vane shear strength of mucky soft soil increases nonlinearly with increasing of depth of soil. The relationship of vane shear strength and depth of soil was fitted by conic model.
