[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, soft soil foundation treatment has become one of the core challenges in the field of civil engineering. Crushed stone pile composite foundations, due to their advantages of low cost, convenient construction, and high bearing capacity, are widely used in the reinforcement of highway, railway, and building foundations. However, existing direct shear testing devices are mostly designed for homogeneous soils and cannot realistically simulate the complex mechanical properties of crushed stone pile composite foundations. The pile spacing, diameter, and arrangement of crushed stone piles significantly affect the shear strength of the foundation, but traditional shear boxes cannot flexibly adjust pile parameters, requiring repeated mold changes or sample preparation, leading to reduced testing efficiency. Therefore, this problem needs to be solved. Utility Model Content
