- Earth pressure : active, at rest and passive states, Rankine and Coulomb theories (including Culhman method)
- Shallow foundations : stress distribution (Boussinesq, Newmark, Steinbrenner-Fadum), settlement analysis, sources of differential settlement.
- Spread footings : ultimate loads, standard equation of bearing capacity, generalization
- In-situ testing.
- Deep foundations : bearing capacity of an isolated vertical pile. Foundation technology, execution procedure, piles and sheet piles, anchors
- Retaining walls : principles, stability criteria for gravity and cantilever retaining walls
- Slurry walls and sheet piles : general principles, technologies, assumptions, analysis and design elements, analytical design of a cantilever sheet pile, discussion.
- Slope stability : principles, case of homogeneous dry soil (Taylor's method), general principle of digital analysis.
