Vane tests and tension tests on fibrous peat

Helenelund, K.V.

Vane tests carried out in fibrous peat using 2-, 3-, 4-, and 6-bladed vanes have given unusual stress-strain curves with two or more peak values; vane rotation does not necessarily cause shear failure along periphery of vane; instead, fibrous peat is bent outward; strength of fibrous peat depends not only on internal friction between fibers but also largely on number, length, and strength of fibers and root threads; use of direct tension tests or alternatively beam tests is proposed for measuring this strength.
