About

The developers of current FHWA methodologies present on scour estimation for this interactive 3-part course.

You will also have access to four 2-hour pre-recorded sessions from the FHWA Bridge Scour workshop material to guide the completion of the case study. For Australian attendees, the material will address the latest Austroads and Australian state transport department guidance. This course uses software tools including HEC-RAS, SRH-2D and TUFLOW to demonstrate scour modelling in the context of the case study.
