Future of Transportation in Missouri
Speaker: Greg J. Horn, PE
Topic This presentation will discuss transportation challenges in the State of Missouri after the failure of Amendment 7 at the polls.
Bio Greg Horn is currently the District Engineer for the St. Louis division of the Missouri Department of Transportation. Greg and the district’s nearly 800 employees are responsible for planning, design, construction and maintenance of 6,000 miles of roads in Franklin, Jefferson, St. Charles and St. Louis counties and the City of St. Louis.
Prior to his role as District Engineer, Greg served as MoDOT’s Project Director for the New Mississippi River Bridge connecting Missouri and Illinois in St. Louis City. The $700 million project is the largest bi-state project in the region’s history. In this position, he was responsible for coordinating property acquisition, design, and construction to ensure the project is built on time and within budget.
Greg, a native of Webster Groves, Mo., is a registered professional engineer. He received his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Missouri, Columbia. He started his career at MoDOT in 1984 in MoDOT's St. Louis construction department. Three years later, he was asked to serve as a Resident Engineer to build the Highway 40 Missouri River Bridge between St. Louis and St. Charles counties.
In 1996, Greg piloted MoDOT’s Area Engineer position. He was responsible for determining and prioritizing all MoDOT activities in the City of St. Louis, and was involved with the location study for the New Mississippi River Bridge. His work served as the model for a position that is now used successfully by MoDOT statewide.

President’s Message Shawnna Erter
I want to again thank everyone who came out to celebrate the
100th anniversary of ASCE St. Louis and all of those who organized
such a wonderful event. Over the weekend I contemplated more
of the accomplishments of our section over the past 100 years and
the changes that St. Louis has seen. It is still awe inspiring to be a
part of an organization and a group of people that continually
make such impactful contributions to not only St. Louis but the
world. Although many of our greatest accomplishments are
underground and unknown to the general public, our members continue to make the world
a better place.
Our members inspire me to do more and try harder each and every day. When I attend
national or regional ASCE events, I am constantly reminded that our membership is more
active than most. When I mention that we have 23 ACTIVE committees other sections
representatives are in awe. In my ASCE St. Louis past, I have been chair of both the younger
member committee and the Geotechnical Institute. In both roles, I consistently saw our
members giving of their time and resources without question or complaint. I watched as the
members became passionate about their contribution to ASCE and the community and again
it made me want to do more and try harder to support them. On the board level I have had
the opportunity to interact and witness the unselfishness of our committee members on
every level. Many of these committee members do not get the recognition they deserve
and they are the first ones to tell me that what they are working on “isn’t a big deal” or “it
really didn’t take that long”. I am constantly humbled by their willingness to give of
themselves simply because they want to make a difference and their belief in what ASCE
stands for. Many of our members are competitors or maybe on opposite project teams, yet
they work seamlessly together for the betterment of ASCE and the general public.
I truly believe that our Section is great because of each and every one of you. It is because
of our members that I will continue to do more and try harder each and every day. In a
discussion after the Gala, I was reminded by multiple people that my job this year is simply
to keep the train on the tracks. Our committees drive the train and sometimes we are all
moving very fast. The Board simply needs to keep it centered on the tracks. I am really
looking forward to this year and getting to work more closely with all of you.
Sincerely,
Shawnna Erter PE, SE

Gala Of The Century (Well…ours, at least.) The 100th year of the St. Louis Section opened with a gala celebration on Saturday night, September 20, at the Norwood Hills Country Club. Our special guest was National President Randy Over, who conveyed the congratulations of ASCE and gave a brief overview of ASCE’s strategic initiatives and future. Our other special guest was James Buchanan Eads (who bears a striking resemblance to H. “Gerry” Schwartz, Jr., Past Section President and National President) who gave a great overview of the highlights and accomplishments of members of the St. Louis Section in the past 126 years. Patrick Gauen, from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, was the Emcee for the evening, providing humor and insights. Pat said that he knows enough about civil engineering to write that “the concrete cured” rather than “the cement dried,” which brought a round of applause. The
official evening concluded with the induction of the 2014-2015 Section Officers by President Over and the passing of the gavel from Past President Marc Bacchetti to Section President Shawnna Erter; after which the audience was delighted with the singing and entertainment of accomplished concert and theatrical star Jennifer Sheehan. Ms. Sheehan presented selections from the Great American Songbook, not just with her outstanding voice but with humor and drama, and historic notes about the writers.
The St. Louis Section’s 2014 Project of the Year is the Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge, owned by Missouri DOT and Illinois DOT, designed by HNTB of Kansas City, and built by a Joint Venture of Massman Construction, Traylor Brothers and Alberici.
Jim Tuxbury received the Journalism Award of the St. Louis Section for his documentary about the design and construction of the bridge. KSDK-TV has made his documentary available at http://youtu.be/foEtiSlvYus
The Section’s Young Engineer of the Year award was presented to Melantha D. Norton, P.E.
S. Narayan Bodapati, P.E., Ph.D. was presented with the Region 7 Lifetime Achievement Award.
Dr. John J. Myers, PE, F.ASCE, F.ACI, F.TMS received the Professional Recognition Award
Mayor Francis Slay issued a proclamation of the City of St. Louis to commemorate the Section’s 100th Anniversary and the many contributions of our members and the civil engineering profession that are “essential for the health and protection of the people of the City of St. Louis.” Mayor Slay named October 7th (our actual anniversary) as “ASCE – St. Louis Section Day” in the City of St. Louis. Similarly, St. Louis County Executive Charles Dooley issued a proclamation honoring the St. Louis Section who “not only serves its members but also provides scholarships, and is active in volunteer-led public education and service projects” for the citizens of St. Louis County. County Executive Dooley also proclaimed October 7th as “American Society of Civil Engineers Day” in St. Louis County. We could only provide this brief overview due to the immediate deadline for the October issue of the Newsletter. A full article will be presented in the November issue.

University News
Civil Engineering Program at Saint Louis University
Receives ABET Accreditation
ST. LOUIS – The Department of Civil Engineering at Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology at Saint
Louis University has announced that the civil engineering program has received full accreditation from the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
Theodosios Alexander, Sc.D., Dean of Parks College, said the first cohort of students enrolled in the program in 2009. Parks
College began the evaluation process immediately after graduating their inaugural class of civil engineers in May 2013.
“We are very pleased that the program has been awarded the full six-year accreditation effective retroactively since fall
2012, thus vindicating the efforts of our faculty and the hard work of our students,” Alexander said.
Alexander commended the work of Parks faculty in achieving this important honor.
“Dr. Riyadh Hindi, Director of Parks College Graduate Programs, and Dr. John Woolschlager, Associate Professor in Civil
Engineering, played major roles in the preparation for the accreditation process,” said Alexander. “Parks Associate Dean
Dr. K. Ravindra, was instrumental in spearheading approval of the program.”
In addition, Alexander said the continued growth of the program has positive future benefits.
“We are looking forward to expanding this crucial program as it is instrumental to the development and maintenance of
infrastructure at the local, regional and national levels.”
With almost no equipment or lab space in 2009, Alexander added that thanks to generous benefactors, the program is now
equipped with state-of-the-art teaching laboratories.
Faculty have created an impressive curriculum for prospective students that is designed to be project-based, rather than
theoretical. Ravindra and Hindi said this will help prepare them for professions in the field.
“The quality of the program is reflected in the type of employers who are seeking our
graduates, the scholarships and fellowships our graduates are receiving to pursue higher studies in reputable universities,
and the high percentage of students successfully passing the Fundamentals in Engineering on the first try,” said Ravindra.
Hindi shares the same sentiments saying, "It's been a great satisfaction to be a part of this program and watch it rise from
the ground up.”
The newly appointed chair of the Civil Engineering department, Ronaldo Luna, Ph.D., P.E., calls early accreditation a great
sign for this emerging program.
“Absolutely every civil engineering graduate will have an accredited degree. I am pleased to be part of this department and
to continue promoting its success," Luna said.
ABET is a not-for-profit organization, owned and operated by more than 30 professional and technical member societies.
An internationally respected organization with some 2,000 volunteers, ABET has set the higher-educational standards in its
fields for nearly 80 years. More information about ABET, its member societies, and the evaluation criteria used to accredit
programs can be found at www.abet.org.

Continuing Education
MS&T—CE-331 Hydraulics of Open Channels
Location: To Be Determined
Date/Time: Meets Wednesdays 6:00 PM – 8:45 PM, Spring Semester begins January 21 2015
Instructor: Gary T Moore MS, P.E.
This course is intended to provide graduate students an opportunity to study the fundamental principles of the flow of water in open channels. The student will explore the phenomena of uniform and varied flow, critical flow conditions, backwater curves, hydraulic jump, and applications studied and applied in detail. Latter part of the course is designed to apply open channel hydraulic principals natural and man made channels with and without floodplains. Both hand calculations and computer methods will be utilized to compute water surface profiles for open channel designs or examples. The student, as part of the course, will be responsible for the open channel hydraulic design of a man made or natural channel or facility. In addition, it is anticipated that guest speakers may present/discuss floodplain management and regulations and open channel hydraulic analysis of floods similar to a case study presentation. This class will also involve one or two class periods in the field to determine manning’s roughness values for a natural channel and floodplain and other data gathering for use in the students HEC-RAS model for a selected creek in St Louis County. On completion of the course, students should be able to understand and determine the open channel hydraulic phenomena and applying the hydraulic principals to the design of man made channels or analysis of existing channels and floodplains. The students should also be able to apply various evaluation techniques to solve hydraulic impacts of open channels and floodplains to facilities or adjacent land forms. Students will present their final design/analysis of an open channel system in a professional setting. Computer applications will employ the use of modeling utilizing HEC-RAS for steady flow and unsteady flow water surface computations. The effects of various obstructions such as bridges, culverts, weirs, and other structures in the floodplain will be considered in the computations. Spreadsheet or hand computations will be performed for water surface profiles based on project or problem features. Prerequisite: Cv Eng 230 with a grade of "C" or better. For further information regarding enrolling in this or any other graduate courses at the Engineering Education Center in St. Louis, visit Missouri S&T’s website at eec.mst.edu.
