Description:

Course Description: 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 models including dam, levee, and breach simulations; viewing and analyzing results with RAS Mapper; troubleshooting and model review. The course will also cover new features released with recent updates to HEC-RAS , such as spatial precipitation and infiltration; 2D bridge hydraulics; improvements to RAS Mapper; and more. The course will utilize the most recent version of the HEC-RAS software available at that time.

Learning objectives attendees will receive from this course:

• Understand when and where to use HEC-RAS 2D.
• Develop necessary input/terrain data for HEC-RAS 2D.
• Create and run a HEC-RAS 2D model.
• Troubleshoot and review a HEC-RAS 2D model.
• Utilize HEC-RAS 2D for various dam safety applications.

It is recommended that attendees have recent HEC-RAS 1D unsteady experience and familiarity operating within the HEC-RAS user interface. ASDSO’s HEC-RAS Course is a recommended prerequisite.

Attendance Policy:  

• Please note that this course is a multi-day technical seminar even though it is being delivered in a virtual format.  Seminars require attendees to be present each day and to participate in the interactive course.  Failure to attend each day may limit access to future components and completion of the course.  Only registered attendees can access the seminar, materials, and recordings.  Professional development credits will only be recognized for the registered attendee.  Additional people should not be sitting in the course.

Virtual Meeting Requirements:

• For this virtual course, you will need a computer, microphone, webcam, and internet connection.  If possible, two screens would be recommended to move between the presentation and the workshops. We will use the ZOOM Meeting platform along with the ASDSO Learning Center and a Virtual Lab component for the workshops.  If you do not have the ZOOM Meeting application or cannot download it, you can use the web browser version.  More details will be sent to attendees after registering.
