Horizontally loaded piles are usually designed by p-y curve methods. The second part of the paper presents an experimental study of piles installed in slopes and subjected to lateral loads. Results obtained by both experimental and numerical approaches and compared and new rules are proposed to take account the slope effects on the bearing capacity. The first part of the paper deals with the bearing capacity of strip or rectangular footings installed near slopes and supporting inclined and/or eccentric loads. Two approaches are combined in these studies: physical modeling in the LCPC geotechnical centrifuge and FEM analyzing using the CESAR-LCPC code. The paper presents the results of two extensive research programmes on shallow and deep foundations installed near slopes.
