Construction Quality Control / Informat...
Join us on June 11, from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern for Construction Quality Control / Information Data Systems for Dam Rehabilitation. We live in an information age. A huge variety of digital tools and methods are in use to assure quality in dam construction. These tools can be leveraged to verify compliance with specifications, excavation limits, production rates, construction limits, structure size, geotechnical instrumentation trends, and...
Preventing Fatalities in Confined Space...
Join us on May 14, from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern for Preventing Fatalities in Confined Spaces at Dams. Most dams have facilities that include permit-required confined spaces. These spaces can include towers, risers, galleries, manholes, vaults, conduits, instrument enclosures, tunnels, adits, drainage systems, etc., that are often unmarked and possess several unique hazards to dam inspectors, operators, and trespassers that are not intuitive...
Modeling Tailings Dam Failures with 2-P...
Join us on April 9, from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern for Modeling Tailings Dam Failures with 2-Phase FLow. This webinar will cover the following: Failure modes of a tailing dam. Discussion of recent tailings dam failures. Use of Tailings Dam Tool and regression equations to estimate volume releases. Simulate tailings dam breach including tailings material and water volume using a two-phase flow model. Predict downstream mudflow inundation. Simu...
Improving Emergency Operations for Dam...
This is an interactive course designed to help participants learn about key tools that will help improve emergency preparedness and enhance communication during dam and levee failures and incidents. Participants will gain a better understanding of the emergency action planning process, including evacuation planning and emergency response methods. Learning objectives attendees will receive from this course: Learn how to improve the integrated o...
Intrusive Activities in Dams and Levees...
Join us on March 12, from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern for Intrusive Activities in Dams and Levees – Are They Worth the Risk of Creating a Flaw? The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has updated its regulation ER 1110-1-1807, Drilling and Invasive Activities at Dams and Levees, and related guidance based on what has been observed and learned during the last nine years of reviewing drilling program plans. This webinar will describe the update, w...
HEC-RAS
This course provides an introduction of HEC-RAS with applications to dam safety. The course provides a hands-on opportunity to use the program and resolve specific questions. The objective of this course is to review the basic principles of open channel hydraulics as they relate to the natural stream environment with application to dam safety. Bridges, culverts, and in-line structures will be discussed and both steady and unsteady flow modelin...
Triaxial Lab Testing for Earth Dams
Join us on February 13, from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern for Triaxial Lab Testing for Earth Dams. The triaxial test is the premier laboratory test to evaluate shear strength conditions for earthen embankment dams. This test is common practice in geotechnical engineering but requires a good understanding of the different laboratory steps and procedures. This webinar will present concepts of the triaxial test as it applies to embankment dams. Dif...
Instrumentation in Dams – Selection and...
The safe operation of dams and appurtenant structures is paramount to the communities they serve. Instrumentation is an important tool of a comprehensive dam safety and performance monitoring program that can detect changes that might otherwise be missed by visual surveillance. The objectives of this course are to provide the participants with a general understanding of dam performance monitoring and its purpose; instrumentation and measuremen...

This is an interactive course designed to help participants learn about key tools that will help improve emergency preparedness and enhance communication during dam and levee failures and incidents. Participants will gain a better understanding of the emergency action planning process, including evacuation planning and emergency response methods. Key takeaways attendees will receive from this course: Learn how to improve the integrated operati...
Webinar: Responding to Dam Emergencies
Many dam failures have been averted by dam owners and engineers taking quick and effective action to intervene and stop an active dam failure from progressing. The focus of this webinar is to present the most common failure modes at dams and provide information on actions that can be taken to prevent or delay each failure mode. Case studies will be used to show examples of successful interventions. Actions that could potentially do harm and ma...
