Interactive & Video Discount Package - New York Civil and Ethics 36 PDH

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides guidance on two pavement preservation treatments: slab stabilization and slab jacking, and retrofitted edgedrains.

The need for the effective management of transportation assets has never been greater. In an era of an aging infrastructure, ever-increasing traffic demands, and shrinking budgets, transportation agencies are continually being asked to “do more with less” in maintaining the condition of their facilities.

Pavements represent a large part of that transportation infrastructure, and the need for their effective management is just as acute. Pavements that are left to deteriorate without timely preservation or maintenance treatments are likely to require major rehabilitation and reconstruction much sooner, and those are costly and disruptive activities

This 2 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily for structural and transportation engineers, design and construction personnel, and other technical professionals who are involved in concrete pavement preservation.

This online engineering PDH video presentation presents the parameter “specific energy” which will first be used to introduce the concepts of critical, subcritical and supercritical flow.  It also presents various calculations related to critical, subcritical and supercritical flow, including hydraulic jump calculations. It discusses the thirteen possible types of gradually varied non-uniform flow surface profiles.  It illustrates the procedure and equations for step-wise calculation of gradually varied non-uniform surface profiles through the use of examples.

 

Many examples of open channel flow can be approximated as uniform flow allowing the use of the Manning equation for calculations.  Non-uniform flow calculations are needed, however, in some open channel flow situations, in which the flow is clearly non-uniform.  The concepts of supercritical, subcritical and critical flow, along with calculations related to those three flow regimes are needed for non-uniform open channel flow analysis and calculations.

 

This 3 PDH online video presentation is intended primarily for civil, hydraulic, highway, environmental, chemical, mechanical, and industrial engineers, who are interested in learning more about open channel hydraulics.

This online engineering PDH video presentation is devoted to the more widely used sharp-crested weir.  It places emphasis on the calculations used to measure for flow rate in various types of sharp-crested weirs. It presents guidelines for the installation, measurement and use of sharp-crested weirs in open channels.

 

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 obstruction correlates with the flow rate, so that measurement of the height of the flowing water above the top of the weir can be used to determine the flow rate through the use of an equation, graph or table.  The top of the weir, which is used as the reference level for the height of water flowing over it, is called the crest of the weir.  Weirs are typically classified as being either sharp-crested or broad-crested.

 

This 3 PDH online video presentation is intended primarily for civil, hydraulic, highway, environmental, chemical, mechanical, and industrial engineers, who are interested in learning more about open channel hydraulics.

This online engineering PDH video presentation focuses on the basic nature of flow in open channels and common ways of classifying open channel flow (laminar or turbulent, steady state or unsteady state, uniform or non-uniform, and critical, subcritical or supercritical).  It presents several worked examples to gain practice in the use of the Manning equation for a variety of uniform open channel flow calculations.

 

Flow of water 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 has a free surface that is at atmospheric pressure and the driving force is gravity.  Open channel flow takes place in natural channels like rivers and streams.  It also occurs in manmade channels such as those used to transport wastewater or irrigation water and in circular sewers flowing partially full.
