Welcome!
Welcome to the web site for the Huntsville Branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). ASCE recently celebrated its 150th anniversary, and is America's oldest engineering society. ASCE's vision is to position engineers as global leaders building a better quality of life. To learn more about the ASCE, please visit www.asce.org. This branch web site is designed to be a portal for information to reach our 140+ members. I encourage you to view our recent Branch newsletter and photos from our monthly meetings. Please feel free to email me with any questions regarding local ASCE participation or with any feedback for our web site.
Join us at our next meeting!
The next ASCE meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 7th at 11:30 a.m. at Gibson's Barbecue on South Memorial Parkway, between
Drake Avenue and Airport Road. The cost of the meal is $13. Please pay in cash or check, payable to ASCE.
Speaker: Wanfang Zhou, Ph.D., C.P.G.
Topic: When Your Site Doesn’t Obey the Rules: Geotechnical Problems in Karst
“Karst terrain presents unique challenges for geotechnical engineers. Most textbook discussions of karst are based on idealized situations
and classic locations, which often do not resemble the site you are working on in the slightest way. This presentation will give a brief
introduction to karst geology and hydrology and address three commonly encountered problems:
(1) Where's the Top of Rock?
(2) Where'd the Ground Go?
(3) That Contamination Can't Be Ours-The Monitoring Wells Are All Clean.”
Please RSVP to Gary Gleason by noon on Friday, July 3rd via email at
gary.gleason@hsvcity.com, or by phone at (256) 427-5300, if you plan to attend.
