Abstract: Given an arbitrary closed set A of

m a t h b f R^{n}

, we establish the relation between the eigenvalues of the approximate differential of the spherical image map of A and the principal curvatures of A introduced by Hug-Last-Weil, thus extending a well known relation for sets of positive reach by Federer and Zaehle. Then we provide for every

m = 1, l d o t s, n - 1

an integral representation for the support measure

m u_{m}

of A with respect to the m dimensional Hausdoff measure. Moreover a notion of second fundamental form

Q_{A}

for an arbitrary closed set A is introduced so that the finite principal curvatures of A correspond to the eigenvalues of

Q_{A}

. We prove that the approximate differential of order 2, introduced in a previous work of the author, equals in a certain sense the absolutely continuous part of

Q_{A}

, thus providing a natural generalization to higher order differentiability of the classical result of Calderon and Zygmund on the approximate differentiability of functions of bounded variation.
