Conduits, Culverts and Pipes - Design and Installation
This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on the design and construction of conduits, culverts, and pipes, as well as design procedures for trench/embankment earth loadings, highway loadings, railroad loadings, surface concentrated loadings, and internal/external fluid pressures.
In general, reinforced concrete conduits, culverts and pipes are used for dams, urban levees, and other levees where public safety is at risk or substantial property damage could occur. Corrugated metal pipes are acceptable through agricultural levees where conduits are 900-mm (36-in.) diameter and where levee embankments are not higher than 4 m (12 ft) above the conduit invert. Inlet structures, intake towers, gate wells, and outlet structures are usually concrete. However, corrugated metal structures may be used in agricultural and rural levees.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to civil, structural and geotechnical engineers, as well as design and construction personnel involved with the design and installation of conduits, culverts and pipes.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Design and installation of cast-in-place conduits for dams
- Design and installation of circular reinforced concrete pipe for small dams and levees
- Design and installation of corrugated metal pipe for rural levees and culverts
- Design and installation of concrete culverts
- Design and installation of plastic pipe for other applications
- Design and installation of ductile iron and steel pipe for other applications
- Design and construction guidelines for pipe jacking
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the US Corps of Engineers Publication EM 1110-2-2902, "Conduits, Culverts and Pipes".
