This presentation begins by explaining the function of filters in embankment dams and the risks associated with improper design or material use. It delves into gradation design procedures, laboratory testing techniques such as the NEF and CEF tests, self-healing evaluation methods, and compressive strength testing for filter cohesion. Participants will gain insights into key construction considerations, including placement strategies, moisture control, compaction methods, and avoidance of material segregation. Additionally, the presentation covers real-world case studies, sampling methods, borrow source selection, and guidance on ensuring long-term filter performance under hydraulic and seismic stress.

This 4 PDH online interactive presentation is designed for dam safety professionals, geotechnical engineers, project managers, and civil engineers aiming to enhance their knowledge of filter systems in embankment dams, reduce failure risks, and ensure resilient dam infrastructure.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation presents a combination of structural best management practices appropriate to address storm water runoff from new development and redevelopment projects disturbing land characteristics.

EPA recommends that you ensure the appropriate implementation of the structural Best Management Practices, in order to provide new development and potentially redevelopment with more opportunities for water quality protection, by considering some or all of the following: preconstruction review of BMP designs; inspections during construction to verify BMPs are built as designed; post-construction inspection and maintenance of BMPs; and penalty provisions for the noncompliance with design, construction or operation and maintenance.

Structural BMPs include: storage practices such as wet ponds and extended-detention outlet structures; filtration practices such as grassed swales, sand filters and filter strips; and infiltration practices such as infiltration basins and infiltration trenches.

This 3 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily to all personnel responsible for the implementation of best management practices for post construction storm water management including but not limited to, municipality owners and/or operators, construction contractors and their staff, site developers and investors, and engineers.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides basic information on how communities can integrate green infrastructure into their Local Hazard Mitigation Plans.

Communities across the United States are facing a variety of challenges, from outdated infrastructure, to water quality protection, to the need to increase community resilience and mitigate the impacts of flooding and other hazards. Green infrastructure is one approach to improve water quality and address flooding challenges. Green infrastructure yields many benefits, including improved water quality, reduced flooding, infrastructure cost savings, and healthier communities.

Moreover, integrating green infrastructure into Local Hazard Mitigation Plans ensures that communities can secure funding, meet regulations, ensure public safety, and encourage sustainable economic growth. When these plans interconnect, communities increase the likelihood that these plans will be realized.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is applicable to civil, environmental and stormwater engineers who are interested in examining how communities can integrate green infrastructure into their Local Hazard Mitigation Plans.

This interactive online presentation on engineering PDH offers an in-depth look at filters and drainage systems in the design and construction of embankment dams, highlighting their critical importance for dam safety and long-term effectiveness. It addresses key factors influencing filter performance, such as filter functions, material choices, gradation criteria, and construction techniques. Best practices for filter design, internal erosion prevention, and the compatibility of filter and base materials are emphasized.

 

The presentation starts by introducing internal erosion and its risks to embankment dams, underscoring the necessity of well-designed filters. It explores design principles, including particle migration control, permeability assurance, and adaptability to construction variations. Participants will learn about practical material selection, installation methods, and common construction issues. Furthermore, the presentation includes filter testing approaches, quality control measures, and case studies that illustrate both successful practices and failure examples to enhance understanding.

 

 

This 3 PDH online interactive presentation is designed for dam safety professionals, geotechnical engineers, project managers, and civil engineers seeking to enhance their knowledge of filter design for embankment dams, mitigate failure risks, and ensure safe and resilient dam infrastructure.

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 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.
