Abstract: The first part of information on the new experiment denominated as E7/0,3 with active pressure of non-cohesive quartz sand on time behaviour of the mass was presented at the last Conference (P. Koudelka, 2015). The second part is object of this Paper. The experiment was performed at the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics in 2014. The moved rigid front wall of the experimental equipment was translatively moved towards active direction (out of the mass) at a position of supposed acting of active pressure value, then the wall motion was stopped and time pressure stability was monitored. After more than three months the wall was moved at the last position of 100 mm from original position before the experiment. The experiment ran four and a half months. The paper presents firstly results on the deforming mass through the course of the wall movement at a supposed position for active pressure mobilization of 1.357 mm and after the further movement. The experiment was repeated to be the results proved (Experiment E8/0,3). New results are analysed.
