This lecture covers the design and analysis of retaining structures, focusing on the lateral earth pressure profiles, typologies of retaining walls, and the evaluation of lateral earth pressure using Rankine's theory. It also discusses the shear strength of unsaturated soils, the effects of infiltrations on lateral earth pressure, and Darcy's law for unsaturated soils.
