This invention provides a
continuous testing device for the three-dimensional
volumetric shrinkage characteristics of soil, belonging to the technical field of geotechnical
testing equipment. It includes: a transparent outer casing to form a sealed testing space; a graduated inner measuring cylinder containing a
polymer solution for measuring
sample volume, which also has a weighing function; a sample placement rod with a hydrophobic
coating sprayed on both the inside and outside of the testing space, and a lifting
handle; the sample can be completely immersed in or pulled out of the
polymer solution by adjusting its longitudinal position; a fixing ring for fixing the position of the sample placement rod; and a base for supporting the upper device. This invention features a simple structure, reliable performance, and high testing accuracy. The
test data can more accurately reflect the shrinkage characteristics of the soil under test. If the transparent outer casing is connected to a temperature and
humidity controller, the testing device can obtain the shrinkage characteristics of soil under different temperature and
humidity environments without disturbing the soil, effectively reducing errors during the testing process and improving testing efficiency.
