A device for simulating injections of liquid chemical/cementitious substances into soils, comprising a first observation chamber which delimits an injectable space adapted to accommodate a soil sample, a second observation chamber which delimits a perforation space adapted to accommodate at least one stretch of an injection device, with longitudinal extension along a longitudinal axis of the second observation chamber, wherein the first observation chamber and the second observation chamber are directly bordering to each other in an interface area, a retaining partition wall which can be inserted in the interface area so as to separate the injectable space from the perforation space and extracted so as to put the perforation space into communication with the injectable space, as well as first transparent portions formed in a first containment wall of the first observation chamber for viewing in real time a propagation of the chemical substance injected into the soil sample by means of the injection device. A method comprising a step of simulating by the device.

The present invention is an apparatus which executes a photogrammetry method for calculating soil density. After a user excavates soil, measures the mass of the excavated soil and takes multiple images of the excavation site in combination with a calibration object, a data processor uses the various values obtained from the collected images to create a point cloud data object. The processor used this point cloud data object to create a visual representation of the hole. The processor rotates and scales the visual representation. The processor also uses the point cloud data object in volumetric calculations to determine the volume of the hole. Together with the soil mass, the volume allows calculation of soil density.

The present invention provides a lateral and continuous measurement method for soil parameters in a soft soil field. The method mainly comprises the following measurement steps: arranging soil strength measuring apparatuses at the front end of a towing apparatus; arranging soil strain softening relationship measuring apparatuses at the bottom end of the towing apparatus; and measuring interface friction parameters between the soil and a structure. The towing apparatus actively or passively moves in a soft soil layer to ensure that the towing apparatus partially penetrates into the to-be-measured soil layer during movement; and the penetration depth of the towing apparatus is controlled by adjusting counterweight above the towing apparatus and a towing angle.

A soil extraction and measurement tool is described. In one example, the tool has a guide having a sleeve and a plate. The sleeve is attached to the plate, extending substantially horizontally from the plate, and having an opening to receive a probe. A probe has a point at an end configured to be inserted into the sleeve of the guide and to extend through the sleeve past the plate. The point is configured to pierce through soil below the plate. The probe has an inner cavity that is open at the point and configured to receive soil when the point pierces through soil, and a window through the probe to the inner cavity configured to allow the soil in the inner cavity to be viewed through the probe.
