Soil mechanics focus on both fundamental theories and engineering practices. Its core contents including the theory of bearing capacity of foundation usually take assumptions which disagree with the practical engineering conditions. However, the practice teaching of such contents was unavailable due to the limited teaching conditions. As a result, the teaching effect was unsatisfactory. To fill up the deficiency above, a multiple-function plane test-bed which was applicable to the soil mechanics teaching was developed. Based on this test-bed, typical issues in soil mechanics including bearing capacity of foundation, earth pressure and slope stability can be physically simulated. It is shown that the present test-bed has beneficial effects which traditional teaching does not have.
