摘要
A fully instrumented device to measure soil properties relevant to traction has been developed. The device can measure soil sinkage parameters (sinkage constant and exponent) utilizing sinkage plates, as well as soil shear parameters (maximum shear stress and shear modulus) using grouser plates. Moreover, this device can be used to measure soil cone index. Field tests were conducted using three different rectangular plates (sinkage tests). and five different rectangular grouser plates (shear tests) in a firm and a tilled Yolo loam soil. The results of these tests show that the device works well in all three modes.
