About

Recent dam failures and updated guidelines highlight the need for continuing education around the governing principles of dam breach analyses. Ongoing improvements in both hardware and software allow increasingly detailed models that still require proper input selection to provide meaningful results that improve public safety.

In this course you will learn to build, run, and animate dam breach models from scratch using the free HEC-RAS software. Consisting of three, two-hour interactive mentoring sessions over a three-week period, you will be provided with the unique opportunity to ask questions as you build a model alongside your expert presenters.

What’s Included

The HEC-RAS Training Series is designed to be taken individually. Each course is highly practical and hands-on ie; not simply a PowerPoint of lectures.

To provide the best desired learning outcomes, setup in a quiet space with dual monitors (ie one screen with the session and the other with the software/exercise that attendees can work on simultaneously). The courses are not designed for a board-room setup.

x3, 2-hour sessions and the recordings to view as many times as required in a month;
Signup for the entire series and you will have 4 months of access to all the courses;
PDF manual of the course. The manual is recommended for ongoing use;
Working models, downloaded from the learning platform before starting the course;
Exercises / homework to complete between recordings;
Pre-reading and viewing materials;
Ability to access all the online course materials for a month. The pre-readings and manual are available for ongoing learning;
Attendees earn 9+ CPD hours/points (ie with Engineers Australia), 40+ hours for the Series.

Requirements: A good internet connection and the latest version of HEC-RAS. Please note: HEC-RAS Version 5.0.4 and newer will only run on 64-bit Windows operating Systems (including 64-bit versions of Window 7, 8.0, 8.1 and 10). Make sure your operating system is up-to-date with all Microsoft patches for your version, before trying to install HEC-RAS.
