This lecture covers the Rankine method for calculating soil pressures in geotechnical engineering, including assumptions, active and passive states, derivation of equations, water effects, heterogeneous soils, and practical examples. Various methods like Rankine, prism, Coulomb-Poncelet, and Caquot-Kérisel are discussed for different soil conditions.
