Described are failure tests performed on a fine-grained Leighton Buzzard sand in the Nottingham hollow cylinder apparatus. These tests were conducted to characterize the inherent anisotropy of the material formed during the sample preparation procedure. An image analysis procedure for determining preferred particle orientation is introduced and its derivation discussed. An attempt is subsequently made to relate the statistically significant preferred orientation to the anisotropic shear strength properties of the Leighton Buzzard sand.
