英文摘要：

Laboratory tests are commonly used to investigate seismic compression of sands. Research status and recentadvances in laboratory tests of seismic, compression of sands are reviewed. After a brief introduction to principles of seismiccompressionof sands, the applicable scope and c.hamc.teristic. of instruments are sketched in detail. And the advantages anddisadvantages of each experimental method are discussed and compared. Furthermore, this paper analyzes the effects ofinternal factors （ soil properties ） and external factors （ load characteristics ） on seismic compression. Finally, theshortcomings of recent research are proposed, including compression prediction of field, multidimensional loads,directionality of loads and soil properties, which provides reference for further issues.
