GB Mann Scholarship Fund Update 


 About two months ago I asked you to support the ASCE Dallas Branch GB Mann Scholarship Fund.

This year, the Fort Worth Branch is the host, which means that the Dallas Branch will not be able to award Scholarships at the same level to deserving students unless we can raise the funds to...

Greetings from San Antonio!  OK, I am not in San Antonio any longer, but had a nice time at the Spring Meeting in April. The San Antonio Branch did a great job in organizing the event with professional development and ethics courses on Thursday, technical sessions on Friday, and student member concrete canoe races on Saturday.  There were numerous activities scattered throughout the meeting including a very motivational speech during the awards luncheon by former San Antonio Mayor, Henry Cisneros.  If you have never attended a Texas Section meeting or conference, I recommend it.  It is worth it in any city, but it will be really easy within the next 18 months as two of the next three meetings are local.  &#8226;    Fall 2012, Fort Worth, November 7-10, 2012 &#8226;    Spring 2013, Corpus Christi, March 19-23, 2013 &#8226;    Fall 2013, Dallas, September 11-14, 2013  One of the many goals of Section Meetings is to promote the exchange of technical ideas through various presentations on a wide range of tracks such as Construction, Materials, Environmental and Water Resources, Transportation and Development, Geotechnical, Structural, Forensics, and many others.

			<itunes:summary>Topic  &#8211;  The Implications of Minerals Exploitation on Dam and Levee Safety   Sands and gravels are used to make concrete and facilitate the construction of structures.  In addition, sands and gravels are needed as free-draining backfill behind retaining walls.  Low plasticity sandy clays are used to replace expansive clays below ground-supported floor slabs and to reduce the post-construction potential vertical movements of the subgrade.  Traditionally, the sands, gravels, and select fill soils were present in river and creek channels and in the adjacent flood plains.  These materials were mined until they were not profitable.  The spoils created when mining these materials were placed haphazardly on the flood plains.  With urban development, levees and dams have been constructed on these materials to protect the citizens of towns and cities from flooding.  This presentation will outline the problems that past mining activities are creating for the existing levees and dams.   
Speaker &#8211; Ms. Anita Brach, PE &#8211; US Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District   Ms. Anita Branch, PE, has worked for the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for more than 25 years in several districts including the Huntington District in Kentucky and in the Fort Worth District in Texas.  She has worked on numerous geotechnical and wetland projects associated with the Mississippi River, Trinity River, San Antonio River, the Lewisville Dam, New Orleans Levees, etc.  Although she has performed the geotechnical investigations and provided foundation recommendations for numerous buildings and structures on military bases, she has a passion for determining the safety of levees and dams.

			<itunes:subtitle>GB Mann Scholarship Fund Update</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:summary>About two months ago I asked you to support the ASCE Dallas Branch GB Mann Scholarship Fund.  With interest rates on the fund being so low in recent years, the golf tournament, which we alternate hosting with the Fort Worth Branch, is the primary source of revenue for the scholarship at the present time.  This year, the Fort Worth Branch is the host, which means that the Dallas Branch will not be able to award Scholarships at the same level to deserving students unless we can raise the funds to support them.    Since that time the Scholarship Committee has sent letters we sent to about 150 firms in the metroplex requesting support, held a fundraiser at a local restaurant, promoted a second fundraiser, and requested individual donations both during lunches at with registration.  Thank you for all the individuals and the three firms that have donated to date.    
 However we still need your help. We are significantly below our goal to give out scholarships this year.  Only with your support can we make this possible.  Please consider giving on-line with your reservation or writing a check to ASCE Dallas Branch &#8211; GB Mann Scholarship Fund and mailing it to ASCE Dallas Branch,  P.O. Box 541373 Dallas, TX 75354-1373.  Let&#8217;s do this together!

			<title>Branch Scholarships</title>
			<description>About G. B. Mann     In the early 90s when David Schnurbusch was the Branch president, the Branch Scholarship Fund was established. In 1993, the Fund received a large boost from Mr. Mann when he contributed a large sum of his retirement investments to the Fund. Numerous Dallas area high school and college students have benefited from his large and kind endowment. He did not want any publicity for this contribution. An ASCE Past President and Life Member, George Boley Mann, received a degree in Civil Engineering from SMU. During WWII he worked in Ordinance Department at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. He retired from Texas Department of Transportation after 34 years of service. He was active in ASCE and NSPE. He contributed to the construction of numerous Texas highways. He mentored many young engineers.   G. B.
