The Urban
Watersheds Research Institute is proud to present a workshop and training
seminar on:
Floodplain
Hydraulics and Encroachment Analysis Using HEC-RAS and HEC-GeoRAS.
When: May 21 & 22, 2008
from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Where:
Auraria
Campus;
Cost: $595.00 (includes class notes and software)
CEU’s: You
will be eligible to receive 1.6 CEU’s or 16 PDH’s for this course
What Will You Learn?
You learn basic applications of the United States Army Corps
of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System (HEC–RAS)
model in determining floodplain elevations along rivers, creeks and all open
channels. Instructors will provide an overview of open channel hydraulics
including flow regimes, energy equations and backwater curve profiles. These
are critical elements in defining floodplain boundaries. You benefit from hands-on computer lab
sessions using HEC–RAS. You will also learn about the use of basic GIS
functions of HEC–GeoRAS, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers GIS interface for
HEC–RAS, to create HEC–RAS input files and to process HEC–RAS results to create
floodplain delineation maps.
Computers Will Be Provided
– Do not bring your own.
The computer lab at CCD will provide
one computer per student with software pre-installed. There is no need to bring your own. If you want to save your work, please bring a
flash drive.
Instructors:
Dr.
Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering
Dr. Glenn Tootle, PE, PhD;
Department of Civil and Architectural
Engineering
Both have extensive experience in
not only teaching this course, but in actual application of this software in
floodplain analysis.
The size of the classroom will be limited to provide more direct contact
with the instructors. To assure a space,
fill out the accompanying enrollment form and send it to the address on the
form as early as possible.
