Question by a_guy_from_wa_state: Know of any cool soils engineering failures?
I have to do a report on a geotechnical case study like a foundation failure (Tower of Pisa), landslide, dam, etc,
Do you know of any of these type of failures where there were lessons learned that could be useful for engineers on future designs?

Earthen dam failures, levies etc… Try a Google search.
Give your answer to this question below!
Try the Narita International Airport – The failure is almost as interesting as the solution.
Try the Vajont Dam landslide.
