This is the sixth volume in the Case History series of the Division on Engineering Geology of the Geological Society of America, initiated in 1957. Each succeeding volume has enjoyed increasing acceptance as an aid to the practicing geologist and engineer, student, and teacher, alike. This volume is a collection of general case histories on dams, tunnels, highways, and underground construction. Indeed, the Baldwin Hills reservoir failure is another in a long list of cases which demonstrate why the geologic environment, features, and circumstances are of major concern to engineering works.
