Footings (geotechnical engineering) history:
- 8000 BCE Aboriginal Aqua Engineering for Eel food farming cultivation in the South of Australia
- 2000 BCE floor control, irrigation, burial sites in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Indus Valley and
- 10th Century Ancient Greece: post in ground, padstones or staddle stone and rubble trench foundations
- 1717 Henri Gautier French Royal Engineer recognises "natural slope in soils" leading to the "angle of repose"
- 1773 Charles Coulomb army captain designing military ramparts defines "slip plane angle" and "soil cohesion friction" aka Mohr-Coulomb theory.
- 1868 France Reinforced concrete invested by Joseph Monier, France 1868
- 1925 Karl Terzghi publishes Erdbaumechanik defining "effective stress" and "shear strength" leading to equations of poroelasticity.
