The paper presents the results of physical experiment E3/0+2 both with the passive pressure and the pressure at rest of the ideally non-cohesive sand on a retaining wall rotated about the top. The experiment had two principal research objects: monitoring of the relation pressure/structure movement (rotation about the top) and visual monitoring of the granular mass displacement, both into and on the upper mass surface. The paper deals in detail with the results and methods of surface monitoring.
