Based　on　the　investigation　of　the　shaking　table　tests　at　home　and　abroad,　a　laminar　shear　container　is　designed.　The　developed　laminar　box　is　a　large-size　shear　box　consisting　of　fifteen　horizontal　layers　made　of　steel　tubes.　Each　layer　has　an　external　dimension　of　3.7　m　by　2.2　m　in　size　and　0.1　m　in　thickness.　The　layers　can　move　relatively　to　one　another　in　accordance　with　the　deformation　of　the　soils　inside.　The　boundary　effects　will　also　be　weakened　considerably　because　of　the　free　movement　of　two　boundaries.　On　the　two　side　faces　parallel　to　the　vibration　direction,　the　four　upright　columns　are　installed.　Several　shafting　bearings　on　each　column　are　all　contacted　with　the　side　face　of　the　box.　The　rotation　of　the　soils　will　be　limited.　And　then,　the　container　is　evaluated　by　comparing　the　measured　acceleration　records　in　free　field　under　simple　harmonic　waves　and　seismic　excitations.　A　statistical　index　is　presented　to　evaluate　and　compare　the　boundary　effects　of　several　kinds　of　soil　containers.　The　results　show　that　the　developed　laminar　shear　soil　container　is　successful　in　simulating　the　soil　boundary　condition.　It　is　an　ideal　container　to　weaken　the　reflection　and　scattering　effect　of　waves　on　the　boundaries.
