(2011)<br>Jelisic and Leppanen (2003)</em></p><p><strong>Method Summary</strong></p><p>The vane shear test and the column vane shear test provide values for undrained shear strength. These in situ shear tests are quality assurance measures performed after mixing operations to verify that the specified level of improvement has been achieved.

<p><p><strong>Reference(s):<br></strong><em>Aldridge and Naguib (1992)<br>Broomhead and Jasperse (1992)<br>Garbin et al. (2011)</em></p><p>The extent of treatment is critical to ensuring that the mixed volume adequately prevents bearing capacity failure, prevents slope failure, and limits settlement. Geometry of the stabilized soil can be determined using conventional geotechnical methods or through numerical modeling and analysis.
