Abstract: Preliminary communicationThe effects of particles orientation, as a result of filling technology, on horizontal pressure within the confined vertical walls is investigated in this experimental study.Experimental measurements of pressure were performed in a model of cell construction with confined rigid steel walls.Filling was performed in three different ways according to predominant angle of grain orientation to the horizontal line of 0°, 45° and 90°.Because of different particles orientation angle, certain anisotropy of shear failure parameters and significant difference in lateral pressure occur.Experiment results showed a significant difference in horizontal pressure at different angles of particle orientation.At angle 90° horizontal pressure was on average 200 % more than at 0°.
