Distance - Municipal and Urban Storm Sewer Drainage Systems Design (1.8 CEUs)

Objective To understand the basics of municipal and urban storm water system design. To develop skills and capabilities of the participants to analyze new and existing stormwater drainage systems as well as to better develop the erosion control plans for construction sites. To learn the basics of the water resources engineering in terms of hydrologic principles including hydrologic cycle, precipitation data, stream flow Measurements and application of stream flow data, runoff, evaporation, transpiration, and groundwater. To learn applications to engineering problems related to groundwater yield, stream flow analysis and watershed Management. To introduce the participants to various, and conflicting, current runoff and drainage design Methods used in water resources engineering practice. To select the most appropriate design tool for different conditions. The use, design, and evaluation of Construction erosion devices, including sediment basins, will be stressed. Emphasis will also be placed on meeting Specific requirements of erosion control regulations.

• Standard engineering calculator with scientific functions
• Laptop for software training (if available)

Instructor Dr. Gamal Abdelaziz, P.Eng, MSc. has a Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering from Concordia University, Montreal, Canada.   Currently he is a senior geotechnical engineer with Global Engineering, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and adjunct professor at Ryerson university, Toronto, Ontario. He has over 22 years of experience in geotechnical and structural engineering, foundation design, teaching, research and consulting in Canada and overseas.

Dr. Abdelaziz is a former adjunct professor at University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada, visiting professor at Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada and part time professor at Seneca College, Toronto, Canada.
Dr. Abdelaziz is specialized in numerical modeling for solving sophisticated geotechnical engineering problems with respect to pile foundation and the linear and nonlinear analysis of soil-structure interaction. He designed charts to predict pressures acting on tunnels, and developed analytical model for pile bearing capacity prediction.
 
Dr. Abdelaziz authored a number of technical papers and delivered numerous internal and external workshops on various geotechnical and Municipal engineering topics. Dr. Abdelaziz has been involved in a number of projects in Canada and overseas, such as tunneling, silos, buildings, retaining structures, siphons, irrigation networks and many other civil engineering projects in terms of design and construction.
 
Dr. Abdelaziz is a member in different professional societies such as APEGGA, PEO, CGS, CDA, TAC and ABPA. He is also a reviewer for the Canadian Geotechnical Journal.
