Good judgment comes from experience, but experience comes from bad judgment. Indeed, professionals learn a lot from failures. Recorded and well‐described failures and more generally case histories are invaluable in developing good judgment, something that is difficult to teach in the classroom. This chapter details 22 case histories, which may or may not be failures but can be used in most cases to get the students interested in learning more and to develop engineering judgment. The case histories include: Washington Monument (shallow mat foundation); Rissa landslide (slope stability); Seattle airport MSE wall (retaining wall); New Orleans Charity Hospital (deep foundation); Eurotunnel from France to England (tunneling); Teton Dam (dam); and so on. The case histories covered in this chapter are not meant to be an exact rendition of the true case history but rather a general rendition of the case. Some of the data and analyses associated with the case histories have been simplified.
