The 2019 Spencer Dam Failure - An Extre...
This webinar will describe the physical processes and human factors that contributed to the failure of Nebraska’s Spencer Dam in a 2019 ice run. There was one fatality. Due to cold and ice, dams in cold regions can experience loadings that are not applicable to dams in warm regions, including ice runs, gate ice-up, gate clogging, and frozen operating equipment. This webinar will expand the knowledge of people who work on dams in cold reg...
Dam Construction Inspection
This course serves as an introduction and guidance on construction oversight and inspections associated with the construction or modification of a dam and appurtenant structures. Learning objectives attendees will receive from this course: Identify the roles, responsibilities, and authority of project team members and discuss how to communicate and stay organized. Understand the importance of dam construction documentation and record-keeping....
Recent Advances in Rock Scour Technolog...
The erodibility of rock foundations, spillways, and other hydraulic conveyance structures remains a critical factor in the integrity and safe operation of dams worldwide. This webinar presents recent advancements in rock scour science and engineering, with a focus on predictive methodologies that incorporate both geologic and hydraulic controls. Emphasis is placed on the evaluation of time-dependent scour processes and the integration of high-...
Shear Strength of Clay/Clay Shales and...
A historical timeline will be presented that describes significant stability-related failure case histories and how various technologies have been developed for characterizing the shear strength of soils (primarily clays and clay shales), as well as methods for performing stability analyses of embankment dams. The history of soil characterization technology, including shear strength, began in the 1800s but accelerated in the early to mid-1900s...

Basic Soil Mechanics Related to Earth Dams
The objective of this course is to provide a comprehensive presentation of the significant principles and concepts of soil mechanics. The material will be presented with emphasis on the basic soil mechanics principles prerequisite to further study for the design or rehabilitation of earth embankment dams. This is a basic-level course intended as an introduction for those with minimal to moderate knowledge or experience in the application of so...
AI and ML for Civil Engineering: Intro...
A significant knowledge gap is emerging between the rapidly evolving capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) and the general engineering workforce, both in terms of terminology and technical expertise. This webinar is designed to bridge that gap, offering an introductory overview that connects these new powerful tools with the technical understanding of the engineers who will review and oversee such efforts in th...
HEC-RAS 2D
This is an interactive seminar focused on the practical use and advantages of two-dimensional flow capabilities in HEC-RAS, with emphasis on applications for the dam safety industry. The course will maintain a balance between lecture-style presentations on model theory and hands-on workshop sessions for practical examples. Topics will include applications and benefits of HEC-RAS 2D modeling; RAS Mapper and terrain preparation; executing 2D mod...
