"Predicted and Measured Behavior of Five Spread Footings on Sand", ASCE Special Publication No. 41. It presents the results of load and settlement predictions by 31 professionals using the same testing data on five footings on sand.
"Measured Performance of Shallow Foundations", ASCE Special Publication No. 15. It presents eight case studies of various footings on different types of soils.

Another good reference on errors in engineering measurements is Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements by Figliola and Beasley.
