The invention discloses an unsaturated coarse-grained soil soil-water characteristic curve combined bending element measuring device, which can be used for combined measurement of an unsaturated coarse-grained soil soil-water characteristic curve and a maximum shear (elastic) modulus in geotechnical engineering, and can further be used for researching the maximum shear (elastic) modulus of unsaturated coarse-grained soil under different initial stresses and matrix suction forces. The unsaturated coarse-grained soil soil-water characteristic curve combined bending element measuring device comprises a pressure chamber, an axial displacement sensor, an axial pressure control system, a confining pressure control system, an air pressure control system, a water pressure control system, a high-air-inlet-value argil plate, an argil plate saturation accessory and a piezoelectric ceramic bending element embedded in the midpoint position of a top cap and the argil plate. According to the unsaturated coarse-grained soil soil-water characteristic curve combined bending element measuring device, different (isotropic and anisotropic) initial stress states can be realized by applying axial pressure and confining pressure through utilizing air pressure; the matrix suction in a sample can accurately controlled by means of the high-air-inlet-value argil plate, the air pressure control system andthe water pressure control system, so that the measurement of a soil-water characteristic curve is realized; and the shear wave velocity or the elastic wave velocity is measured through using the piezoelectric ceramic bending element, so that the measurement of the maximum shear modulus or the elastic modulus of the unsaturated coarse-grained soil in a controllable matrix suction state is realized.
