SUMMARY:UWRI -  Floodplain Delineation using 2D HEC RAS
DESCRIPTION:https://www.regonline.com/builder/site/Default.aspx?EventID=2548452 \nCEU’s: You will be eligible to receive 1.5 CEU’s or 15 PDH’s for this course.\nYou will receive 12 ASFPM Core CEC’s toward CFM certification. \nWhat Will You Learn? \nThis is a two-day workshop that will focus on the basic knowledge and applications of two dimensional (2D) flood inundation modeling using the new version of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS 5.0. The new HEC-RAS 5.0 has been significantly improved and includes new abilities. One of them is to perform two‐dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic flow routing. Now\, users can perform one‐dimensional (1D) and 2D unsteady‐flow modeling\, as well as combined 1D and 2D routing. Students will learn the basic theory and knowledge of 2D unsteady flow modeling and common applications. The class exercises will be practically carried out by creating a 2D HEC-RAS model and delineating flood inundation extents. Every class exercise will be performed based on working through each key element step-by-step. The subjects that will be covered in this course are: \n1) Basic theory and knowledge of unsteady flow hydraulics.\n2) Understanding of basic 2D flood hydraulic modeling and application.\n3) Introduction of HEC-RAS 5.0.\n4) Create and run your first 2D HEC-RAS step by step.\n5) Considerations and limitations of developing a 2D HEC-RAS model.\n6) Combined HEC-RAS 1D and 2D routing.\n7) Inline and lateral Structures with 2D flood routing.\n8) How to stabilize and optimize the computation results.\n9) Exporting modeling results.\n10) Flood inundation extents delineation using RAS Mapper.\n11) Modeling errors and troubleshooting. \nWorkshops will include creating a terrain model and computational mesh using RAS Mapper\, setting up the initial boundary conditions\, adding structures\, stabilizing an unsteady flow model\, and exporting computation results and mapping. This workshop is suitable for engineers\, technicians and current HEC-RAS users responsible for flood inundation delineation and unsteady flow modeling. \nFaculty:\nDr. Max Shih\, PhD\, P.E.\, CFM is a technical lead for water resources engineering and sediment transport projects at CDM Smith. He has more than 20 years of experience in H&H analyses\, specifically providing flood inundation mapping for frequency floods and dam breach floods and spatially variable watershed hydrologic and sediment erosion modeling. Dr. Shih has conducted many 2D/3D flow hydraulic and sediment transport modeling projects using HEC-RAS 5.0/2D\, TABS-2\, SMS\, SRH2D\, XPSWMM 2D\, FLO-2D\, CASC2D\, GSTARS\, and FLOW-3D programs. More than hundreds of people have taken the HEC-RAS 2D training class taught by Dr. Shih since 2015. Dr. Shih will share his years of experience and lead the class through practical 2D flood hydraulic modeling exercises. \nRyan Byrne\, P.E.\, CFM is a Senior Project Engineer at Martin/Martin Inc. providing water resources support for public and private projects across the Denver Metro area. He has more than 11 years of experience performing computational hydrologic and hydraulic analysis for flood control and floodplain mapping. He has extensive experience with spatial watershed analysis for both small and large scale studies both within and outside of the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District and Denver Metropolitan area. He will provide course support related to the HEC-RAS and 2D flow modeling exercises from a perspective of a long-term practitioner. \nColorado is a great place to visit!\nColorado is a great place to visit in March. March is still ski season! Hit the slopes at some of our fun resorts in Breckenridge\, Aspen\, Vail\, Beaver Creek and many more. If you’re looking for a mixture of mountains and relaxation\, check out the Strawberry Park Hot Springs in Steamboat or the Indian Hot Springs in Idaho Springs. Would you rather stay close to or in the city of Denver? Larimer Square has several fun boutiques for you (and even your pets)! When you’re ready for a break\, there are a variety of delicious cafes and restaurants to choose from! So\, if you come and attend this class\, you may want to extend your stay (or even come early) and take advantage of the most attractive area of the United States.

SUMMARY:G194: Preparing For Post-Disaster Responsibilities Course
DESCRIPTION:Description: This course is designed to familiarize the participants with the elements of pre-disaster planning needed to prepare for substantial damage operations. Substantial damage applies to a structure in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) – or 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain – for which the total cost of repairs is 50 percent or more of the structure’s market value before the disaster occurred\, regardless of the cause of damage.\nCourse topics include: Identifying partners and resources; creating post-disaster standard operating procedures (SOPs); outline steps that should take place post-disaster to carry out substantial damage assessments; describe possible methods to obtain compliance with substantial damage determinations; and review possible sources of funding that can assist with post-disaster substantial losses. This course has in-depth discussion of the topics and exercises to help floodplain managers prepare for post-disaster activities. \nTarget Audience: Local floodplain managers and other local officials with the responsibility of completing damage assessments (assessor’s office\, public works\, building inspectors\, planners\, etc.) are strongly encouraged to attend. Emergency managers and recovery staff would also benefit. \nRegister: Registration will be through https://www.train.org/colorado/. Course ID # 1079686.\nFor help with CO.Train registration\, contact cdps_dhsem_training@state.co.us. \nDate\, Time & Location: January 15th\, 8:00am – 5:00pm. Lunch will be on your own.\nJefferson County Campus\, 800 Jefferson County Pkwy\, Dakota Building\, Golden\, CO 80401

SUMMARY:NHI - Stream Stability and Scour at Highway Bridges
DESCRIPTION:TRAINING LEVEL: Intermediate \nCLASS SIZE: Minimum: 20 Maximum: 30 \n\n\nCOURSE DESCRIPTION: \nThe National Highway Institute’s (NHI) 3-day Stream Stability and Scour at Highway Bridges course provides participants with comprehensive training in the prevention of hydraulic-related bridge failures. Course participants will receive training in conducting a stream stability classification and qualitative analysis of stream response and make estimates of scour at a bridge opening. \nMaterial for the course comes primarily from two Hydraulic Engineering Circulars (HEC)\, “Evaluating Scour at Bridges” (HEC-18)\, 5th Edition (2012)\, and “Stream Stability at Highway Structures” (HEC-20)\, 4th Edition (2012). The effects of stream instability\, scour\, erosion\, and stream aggradation and degradation are covered. Quantitative techniques are provided for estimating long-term degradation and for calculating the magnitude of contraction scour in a bridge opening. Procedures for estimating local scour at bridge piers and abutments for simple and complex substructures are also provided. A comprehensive workshop integrates qualitative analysis and analytical techniques to determine the need for a Scour Plan of Action for correcting stream instability and scour problems. For this 3-day course\, the host agency will need to select 3 optional topics (out of 8 possible topics). Course instructors will contact the host prior to the course to complete a pre-course questionnaire\, determine optional topics to be taught\, and discuss the course schedule. \nThis comprehensive training provides preventive techniques for identifying\, analyzing\, and calculating various hydraulic factors that impact bridge stability. Public and private sector engineers responsible for maintaining the integrity of highway bridges will find it invaluable. \nPrior to the beginning of the course\, participants are strongly encouraged to enroll in the following Web-based training (WBT) courses: 135091 Basic Hydraulic Principles Review\, 135086 Stream Stability Factors and Concepts\, and 135087 Scour at Highway Bridges: Concepts and Definitions.
