Course Description:
 
This  workshop provides HEC-RAS Steady Flow River Hydraulics Modeling training. The Hydrologic Engineering Center—River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) is a computer software designed to simulate water surface profiles and velocities for a network of natural and constructed watercourses. HEC-RAS is widely used throughout the world as an industry standard hydraulics program. The lectures and lab sessions will concentrate on teaching and demonstrating principle of hydraulics and hydrology and how to use the software in practical engineering applications. Participants will learn by doing, while using the HEC-RAS software on their own computers. The Software and Documentations are free downloaded from

By participating in this workshop, you will be able to construct a complete HEC-RAS model using the exercises provided in the course. Performance of channel network, bridge and culvert design and analysis will be conducted along with the sample projects. Introduction to flood studies using HEC-RAS will be provided. Participants will gain confidence in applying HEC-RAS to a variety of modeling problems from the lectures and exercises provided. Troubleshooting and how to review, verify and calibrate HEC-RAS models will be provided.

The PDDP Distance Education program works as follows:

  • Once you register for this course, you will be sent a login username and password for our online distance website.

  • You will receive the course notes in hard copy through the online website, you will receive a set of notes each week covering the course material.
