Description

This comprehensive course offers in-depth training on the hydraulic design and analysis of culverts and energy dissipation systems using HY-8, a widely recognized culvert hydraulic analysis software developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). It is specifically designed for civil engineers, water resource professionals, and students who are interested in mastering culvert design and understanding how to manage flow energy to minimize erosion and structural damage.

Throughout the course, learners will explore the fundamentals of culvert hydraulics, selection of culvert types, headwater and tailwater calculations, and critical depth analysis. You will also gain hands-on experience modeling different site scenarios in HY-8, interpreting output results, and generating report-ready diagrams and data.

A major focus of this course is on energy dissipation mechanisms. We will cover the design and evaluation of riprap basins, SAF stilling basins, and other dissipative structures to ensure safe outfall conditions downstream of the culvert.

Whether you're working on real-world drainage projects, preparing for engineering exams, or enhancing your hydraulic modeling skills, this course provides practical and theoretical knowledge applicable in both field and design office environments.

By the end, you’ll be equipped with the skills to independently design efficient culvert systems and apply energy dissipation techniques confidently using HY-8.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is for civil engineering students, early-career water resource professionals, and engineers interested in learning culvert hydraulic design and energy dissipation techniques using HY-8 software. It is ideal for those involved in stormwater management, drainage design, or transportation infrastructure projects.
