The vane shear test is only really suitable for use on clays to determine the undrained strength of the saturated clay.
A good reference for varying types of clays and their undrained shear strengths is Correlations of Soil Properties, Carter and Bentley, Section 6, Tables 6.1 and 6.2.
Hope this helps.
 
Do you have the ISBN of that book and other details?
 
ISBN 0-7273-0317-1
You could also try BS8004:1986 Code of practice for Foundations (British Standard - not sure where you are!)
