Abstract

We present precise and reproducible mean pressure measurements at the bottom of a cylindrical granular column. if a constant overload is added, the pressure is linear in overload and nonmonotonic in the column height. The results are quantitatively consistent with a local, linear relation between stress components, as was recently proposed by some of us. They contradict the simplest classical (Janssen) approximation, and may rather severely test competing models.
