Abstract:Soil test and soil mechanics test are very important in the development of soil mechanics, the theory and experiment must be closely combined. Briefly summarizes the test on basic physical property of soil, direct shear test, three axial compression test, resonant column test, unconfined compressive strength test and static load test, standard penetration test, cone penetration test, pressure meter test and vane shear test field test, points out the important significance of soil test.
