Met Cntr Bldg 10 Failure

A lawsuit concerning Met Center Bldg 10 in Austin, Texas, was settled, with the new owner being paid $1,000,000 by the project team (developer, contractor, structural engineer, and architect) including the geotechnical firm Reed Engineering. Soil movement appears to have caused extensive cosmetic and functional damage to the 350,000 square foot building. An 18-ft deep cut-off wall appears to be the plan to serve as a moisture barrier, in addition to some drainage improvements.  Did the contractor or civil/structural plans not follow geotechnical recommendations?  Or was the geotechnical report providing reckless or inadequate recommendations?
