Abstract
The main goal of this paper is a rigorous consideration of the stress problem in some simple models of granular piles. Discrete models are considered and the transition to the continuous description is accomplished in order to find the coarse-grained average stress. Some phenomenological rules are formulated on basis of a rigorous consideration of the simple models and applied to more complicated situations.
