Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Proceedings of Geo-Frontiers 2005, held in Austin, Texas, January 24-26, 2005. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 6 papers on legal and liability issues in geotechnical engineering from expert witnessing to techniques for reducing the ubiquitous liability. Topics include: identifying the standard of care; litigation involving a landslide; litigation involving differing site conditions; alternative dispute resolution techniques; techniques for managing potential liability; potential liability involving segmental retaining walls and reinforced soil; and slopes.
