A basic research of lateral earth pressure based on physical and numerical experiments began in 1998 at the institute of the author and it has continued. The physical research should prove behavior of ideally non-cohesive granular mass during three basic types of structure/wall movement towards active and passive directions. The first research period in 1998-2000 aimed on active pressure and in 2001- 2002 on the first long-term experiment with passive pressure (E3/0.2). Then new experimental equipment was developed (2003–2009) on contemporary advanced level. The first long-term experiment with passive pressure E3/0,2 acting on wall rotated about the top was repeated and as double long-term experiments denoted like experiments E5/0,2 (2010) and E6/0,2 (2011). The new equipment is under full computer control and it has 5 bi-component pressure sensors in the arbitrarily moved front wall and 6 sensors in the solid back wall.
