中文摘要：

针对土力学和基础工程中许多较为抽象的原理和现象，阐述了研制土力学与基础工程教学演示仪器的目的和意义。然后以土体主动和被动破坏演示仪为例，介绍了教学演示仪器的研制与实践过程，包括该仪器构造、功能、主动破坏及被动破坏模式的模拟方法，简要介绍了浙江大学已研制成功的其他6套土力学与基础工程教学演示仪器。

英文摘要：

Many principles and phenomena of soil mechanics and foundation engineering are much preventative, so the purpose and significance of the teaching apparatus for soil mechanics and foundation engineering were described. Then take the active/passive failure demonstration apparatus for example, the develop- ment and practice process of the equipment is given, including the instrument structure, function and simulation methods for active or passive failure modes. At last a brief introduction is given for six sets of teaching apparatus for soil mechanics and foundation engineering developed by Zhejiang University.
