The reed test has been used in field research for the elaboration of geotechnical projects and in the management of non-clay sedimentary deposits, due to the fact that it provides data such as undrained shear strength (Su) and sensitivity (St). The same results are obtained in the test with the laboratory straw (mini vane), but for that, it is necessary to extract samples considered undisturbed, which, in this research, were recommended by the ABNT NBR 9820 standard. vane shear test with the laboratory vane test, also called Mini Vane. The location of this analysis is in a port region located at the mouth of the Amazon River, in a natural sedimentary deposit, which presented two slope disruptions with characteristics peculiar to soils with high sensitivity. Landslides on slopes are usually predictable from a geotechnical point of view, however in this researched region the soil presented rapid landslides on the slope, showing signs of a soil with high sensitivity. The research pointed out that the laboratory vane test (mini vane) presented a greater (St) when correlated with the (St) of the simple compression tests, giving greater clarity that there is a very soft clayey soil with a depth between 30 and 40 meters, typical of a ground lens that performed with high sensitivity. Comparisons between the reed tests showed consistency in the results, even in soil layers with different consistency indices than the initial layers, the validations of the reed tests were validated with the tests performed by simple compression. Finally, the soil of this deposit had its sensitivity identified in the field straw test. The same identification was confirmed on the Mini Vane. However, at depths greater than the field vane. In this way, the tests carried out by the Vane Shear Test (VST) in situ were primordial in the identification of the sensitivity, having its confirmation with the laboratory reed test (Mini Vane).
