Abstract
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.
