[0020] The box body comprises a first angle steel grid 1, a second angle steel grid 2, a third angle steel grid 3 and an angle steel 13. The first angle steel grid 1 and the second angle steel grid 2 are vertically connected on one side, the second angle steel grid 2 is vertically connected with the third angle steel grid 3 on the other side, the first angle steel grid 1 and the third angle steel grid 3 are arranged in parallel, the first angle steel grid 1 and the third angle steel grid 3 are connected on the other side through the angle steel 13, the bottom surfaces of the first angle steel grid 1, the second angle steel grid 2 and the third angle steel grid 3 are connected with the bottom steel plate 4 through bolts, the upper surfaces of the first angle steel grid 1, the second angle steel grid 2 and the third angle steel grid 3 are connected through the angle steel 13, and the angle steel 13 is reinforced through "ribbed" processing.

When a large size is not needed, the size of the model box can be reduced to reduce the consumption of manpower and material resources. Embodiment

[0022] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The soil is filled in three layers, and a soil pressure box is buried at the bottom of each layer of soil to detect the change of the internal pressure of the soil when the roadbed model is pressed. A settlement rod is buried on the upper part of the first layer and the second layer of soil, and a dial gauge is arranged on the upper part of the settlement rod. The settlement of the soil is detected by observing the change of the data of the dial gauge.

[0023] After the soil compaction and sensor burying are completed, the bolt rod 10 at the observation edge of the first angle steel grid 1 is dismounted, the silica gel gasket 11 is removed, and the high-transparency glass 7 is removed.

[0034] The method for filling the simulated soil layer structure in S1 is: the soil layer is laid in layers and compacted by using a small electric grab. After each layer of compacted soil layer, random sampling is performed on each layer of compacted soil layer by using a cutting ring to detect the compaction degree of each compacted soil layer. The compaction degree calculation formula is:

[0035]

[0036] Among them, the wet density, the total mass of the cutting ring and the soil, the mass of the cutting ring, the volume of the cutting ring, the dry density of the sample, K is the compaction degree, and the maximum dry density of the sample.

[0037] The method for making speckles in S2 includes the following steps:
