Hydraulic Jumps and Non-Uniform Open Channel Flow - 2 PDH
Many examples of open channel flow can be approximated as uniform flow allowing the Manning equation to be used. Non-uniform flow calculations are needed, however, in some open channel flow situations, where the flow is clearly non-uniform. The concepts …
Hydroelectric Power Plants High Voltage - 3 PDH
This course discusses the high-voltage system in hydroelectric power plants which includes equipment and conductors that carry current at transmission line-voltage, with their insulators, supports, switching equipment, and protective devices. The system …
Hydraulic Design of Storm Sewers with Excel - 4 PDH
Storm sewers are widely used to carry away runoff from storms, primarily in urban areas. The hydraulic design begins after the locations for the manholes for the system have been determined. Between each pair of manholes the storm sewer will have a …
Hospital Water Systems - 3 PDH
This course will introduce you to design and construction considerations for domestic water supply systems for hospitals and other health care facilities.
Hydraulic Design of Culverts - 3 PDH
This course will introduce you to a nomographic approach to hydraulic design of culverts. Culverts are hydraulic structures intended to convey, generally, stormwater and other unanticipated flows in and around earth and other structures such as highways, …
Sharp-Crested Weirs: Open Channel Flow Measurement - 2 PDH
A weir is basically an obstruction in an open channel flow path. Weirs are commonly used for measurement of open channel flow rate. A weir functions by causing water to rise above the obstruction in order to flow over it. The height of water above the …
FHWA Bridge Inspection Fundamentals - 6 PDH
The Federal Highway Administration’s Bridge Inspector’s Reference Manual (BIRM) is a comprehensive manual on programs, procedures, and techniques for inspecting and evaluating a variety of in-service highway bridges. BIRM serves as the basis of a …
Stream Restoration - 7 PDH
A natural stream channel remains stable over a wide range of flows, typically accumulating sediment during low flow periods and carrying sediment downstream during high flow periods. Changes to the channel, vegetation, floodplain, flow or sediment supply …
Makeup Water Industrial Water - 3 PDH
This course provides an introduction to makeup water for Industrial water systems. Many installations use fresh water and, often, potable water. Makeup water, often referred to as “makeup,” is fresh water that is added to an industrial water system to …
FHWA Bridge Inspection Reporting - 5 PDH
The Federal Highway Administration’s Bridge Inspector’s Reference Manual (BIRM) is a comprehensive manual on programs, procedures, and techniques for inspecting and evaluating a variety of in-service highway bridges. BIRM serves as the basis of a …
Uniform Open Channel Flow and The Manning Equation -2 PDH
Flow of a liquid may take place either as open channel flow or pressure flow. Pressure flow takes place in a closed conduit such as a pipe, and pressure is the primary driving force for the flow. For open channel flow, on the other hand the flowing liquid …
Design of Dewatering Systems - 3 PDH
This course discusses design of a watering and pressure relief or groundwater control system. To do this first requires determination of the type of groundwater flow (artesian, gravity, or combined) to be expected and of the type of system that will be …
Hydraulic Design of Sewers - 3 PDH
This course will introduce you to the principles of hydraulic design of sanitary sewers. You will learn how to calculate quantities of wastewater, the approach to design of gravity and depressed sewers, required pumping capacity, hydrogen sulfide gas …
