Hello,
which elements should be used to consider soil effects for a mat or single foundation ? (p-y , t-z , q-z or .....?)

p-y, t-z and q-z materials are specialized for pile-soil interaction. there are normally used altogether in PSSI model. see the publication of Dr.Bowlanger and you will find your answer.
