Abstract: A soil condition analysis system, including: a support platform to support an elongate soil core extracted from the Earth; a plurality of soil sensing components configured to measure corresponding characteristics of a soil core supported on the support platform; one or more data acquisition components in communication with the soil sensing components and configured to generate measurement data representing the measured characteristics from the soil sensing components; wherein at least one of the support platform and the plurality of soil sensing components is mounted on a computer-controlled translation stage to enable the soil sensing components to automatically measure the corresponding characteristics of the soil core at mutually spaced locations along a longitudinal axis of the elongate soil core. The system includes a data processing and data analytics component configured to process the measurement data to generate soil property data representing corresponding soil properties of the elongate soil core as a function of depth, based on mathematical and statistical methods.
