In response to the scientific compilation of the adhesion test method in JTS/T 247-2023 Regulations for Soil Testing in Water Transport Engineering，we carry out targeted exploratory tests through thorough research and investigation of the relevant clauses in the previous specifications，starting from the development of test plans，customization of test equipment such as soil sample cups，pressure plates，and protective rings.By using a single variable analysis method，we study the effects of soil sample cup size，pressing plate size，and retaining ring thickness on soil adhesion testing，summarize a more practical，operable，and in line with the provisions of soil adhesion testing methods in the water transportation engineering industry，and include provisions in the section of JTS/T 247-2023 Regulations for Soil Testing in Water Transport Engineering，promoting the optimization and improvement of soil adhesion testing methods in the water transportation engineering industry.
