The invention discloses a device and a method for measuring soil body displacement in a layering mode. The device for measuring soil body displacement in a layering mode comprises a casing pipe, a pre-buried rod piece and a displacement meter. The casing pipe is buried in a measured soil body, the pre-buried rod piece is movably arranged in the casing pipe in a penetrating mode, the pre-buried rod piece comprises an extension bar, the top of the extension bar is connected with a carrier rod, the bottom of the extension bar is connected with a base, a groove is formed in the top of the carrier rod, the bottom of the base stretches out from the bottom of the casing pipe to form a chassis, the chassis is arranged on a measured point, the displacement meter is fixed over the carrier rod, a centre of the displacement meter abuts against the interior of the groove, and the center symmetric line of the displacement meter and the center symmetric line of the pre-buried rod piece are located in a same straight line. The pre-buried rod piece and the casing pipe are buried in the measured soil body in advance, then the pre-buried rod piece can generate relative displacement in the casing pipe, layering displacement of stratums is conducted to the ground, and therefore displacement of the soil body with designated depth can be measured. The device for measuring soil body displacement in a layering mode is simple and reliable in structure, can be reused, and is particularly suitable for measuring displacement of the deep soil body in a test.
