This training is offered by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Engineering Professional Development. This training is being offered online through seven (7) live, interactive web conferences.  This is the 7th and final webcast of this course. 

The web conferences are scheduled on the following days: 

  • Friday, September 28
  • Friday, October 5
  • Friday, October 12
  • Friday, October 26
  • Friday, November 2
  • Friday, November 9
  • Friday, November 16

In this course, you will:

  • Update and improve your proficiency in flood analysis
  • Learn how to evaluate and use different program options
  • Understand assumptions and applications for bridge modeling methods
  • Learn how to use program solutions to mixed flow, multiple culverts, and bridge openings
  • Understand the differences and advantages of HEC-RAS compared to HEC-2
  • Benefit from hands-on applications throughout the course

No prior experience with HEC-RAS is required.

Who should attend?

  • Engineers who have some experience in hydraulic studies and investigations
  • Engineers or others with experience in using HEC-2

The class includes lectures and hands-on computer workshops that will give you a solid understanding of the theory behind the model as well as a practical ability to work the model effectively. We will use the just-introduced 5.0.4 version of HEC-RAS.  In addition to the program itself, you’ll receive valuable resources and references.    

You will need a windows laptop that has:

  • A high-speed Internet connection
  • Adobe to be able to open and read .pdf’s
  • Excel   

This course is eligible for 12 CECs for Certified Floodplain Managers

 

NOTE: These courses are recorded, so it is not necessary to attend each session during the time it is scheduled.
