Abstract

Soil shear strength is an important physical performance of rock and soil, so the soil shear strength measurements play an important role in monitoring and prevention for landslide hazard point. In order to achieve on-site monitoring of landslide hazard points, this article presents a device for field measurement on soil shear strength. This device consists of cross board, torque sensor, stepper motor, single-chip ,with microcontroller hardware circuit to measure the soil shear strength.
