An object describing the properties of a laboratory vane test procedure.The laboratory vane shear test consists of inserting a four-bladed vane in the endof an intact tube sample or remolded sample and rotating it at a constant rate todetermine the torque required to cause a cylindrical surface to be sheared by thevane. This torque is then converted to a unit shearing resistance of the cylindricalsurface area. The torque is mea- sured by a calibrated torque spring or torquetransducer that is attached directly to the vane.
Database handle for the object. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to beunique in the XML document within which it occurs. An external identifier for the object inthe form of a URI may be constructed using standard XML and XPointer methods. This is doneby concatenating the URI for the document, a fragment separator, and the value of the idattribute.
