Five Learning Objectives of This Course: Scour of rock is a dam safety concern that requires meaningful quantification It is possible to predict the scour potential of rock using data normally available for dam design High-resolution remote sensing and monitoring can facilitate improved scour assessment Course attendees should develop an understanding of processes and key drivers/controls for scour of rocks Course attendees should be able to e...

Governments are faced with new opportunities to shape our communities. In order to be successful planning and engineering disciplines must balance the needs of people, infrastructure and the environment. One way to make this shift is to use the proper smart tools to model the impacts of proposed development, adjust to shifting demographics and lifestyles, and account for changes in climate change and economic shifts. Join us on Thurs. Feb 18th...

(SAE) Security for Architects and Engineers – This 2-day course explores principles developed over the last twenty years in the “social behavior” arena. The same concepts that effect positive social engineering are duplicated in designing inhabited spaces to cause people to do what you want them to do. Students will learn to design “from the curb inward” and incorporate overlapping threat prevention principles. We...

This webinar will review the design and construction of filters and drains for embankment dams. Specific topics covered will include 1) principles of filters and drains, 2) locations and configurations of filters and drains in embankment dams (for both new dams and dam rehabilitations) , 3) design guidelines for filters and drains, 4) evaluations of filters and drains in existing embankment dams, and 5) practical considerations for design and...

This year’s theme is Resilient Bases and Smart Communities. The 2-day event will focus on reconstruction efforts at Tyndall Air Force Base and the Northwest Florida region in the wake of Hurricane Michael. Join your colleagues as we discuss Sustainable Design & Fortified Construction, Innovative Solutions for Energy & Water Conservation, Energy Micro-grids, the “Base of the Future” and so much more.

This webinar will provide an overview of multiple dam design and dam safety resources available from the USDA of Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The overview will include a presentation on the NRCS history of building dams and dam safety. The policy presentation will focus on key dam design and dam safety elements in the NRCS General Manual, the National Engineering Manual and NRCS directives process. The presentation on NRCS de...

Potential failure modes analyses (PFMA) was first used in dam safety over twenty years ago and although thousands of PFMA workshops have been conducted since it was first introduced, the use and application of PFMAs is still mostly limited to larger federal agencies and occasionally by others on larger projects. PFMA is a tool and a framework to evaluate dam and levee safety. It has fundamentally changed the way many now approach assessing and...
