About

Take sessions at any time with unlimited access for 30 days on registration.

This course covers the incorporation of bridges and culverts into 1D, 2D, and coupled 1D/2D HEC-RAS models.

The course consists of 4-hours of recordings. Build a model with your presenter, Krey Price, a highly experienced HEC-RAS user with extensive software development and lecturing experience. His career includes 15 years of developing hydraulic models for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.


**This advanced course assumes you understand the fundamentals of HEC-RAS, with 1+ years of experience. We encourage you to complete the HEC-RAS Essentials Course first, as it will prepare you well for the advanced topics we will cover.

Pre-requisites

This advanced course assumes you understand the fundamentals of HEC-RAS, with 1+ years of experience. We encourage you to complete the HEC-RAS Essentials Course first, as it will prepare you well for the advanced topics we will cover in this course.

 

Topics covered

  1. Background theory: Energy vs momentum for low flow, pressure flow, and weir flow
  2. The HDS5 approach for culvert design
  3. Background theory: Delineating appropriate upstream and downstream 1D cross sections
  4. Estimating flow separation and expansion/contraction zones for coefficients and ineffective flow areas
  5. Entering bridge geometry for deck, abutments, and piers
  6. Linking a 1D bridge reaches to 2D flow areas
  7. Entering bridges and culverts as internal connections in 2D Flow Areas
  8. Introduction to bridge scour for piers and abutments

 

Format

  • 4+ hours of session recordings, across 2 parts;
  • Session recordings to view as many times as required in 30 days;
  • Pre-and-post-course materials to go through via the learning platform (LMS);
  • Exercises to follow through via a training manual, between the 2 parts of the course;
  • Unlimited access to all the course materials for 30 days;
  • Ability to ask questions to the presenters through the LMS;
  • PDF manual of the course, downloadable and recommended for ongoing use;
  • Working models, downloaded from the learning platform before starting the course;
  • Pre-reading and viewing materials.

Preparation

Pre-course reading and video watching is encouraged.

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).

 

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.

 

Completion Certification

  • Attendees earn 4 CPD hours/points (ie with Engineers Australia).
  • On completion of the course attendees will be issued with a Certificate of Completion.
