The designer for the new facility has suggested that soil testing is necessary.  Under pressure, the engineer briefly outlines the necessary testing and provides an estimated cost and the project is approved.  After his testing and geotechnical report is submitted and the project proceeds, it becomes apparent that apart from his verbal earthwork recommendations, his geotechnical report has largely gone unused.  A good ole’ boy design/construction team of questionable expertise designs and constructs the facility.  The geotechnical engineer becomes concerned about potential liability that might come back on his firm if the buildings do not perform. </style></abstract><doi><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1061/(ASCE)1052-3928(2005)131:1(6)</style></doi><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.
