This intense, four-day course presents the newly released HEC-RAS v4.0 and its applications to model streams, rivers, and floodplains under a flood flow condition.  Students prepare input files and analyze output.  Version 4.0 of the River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) is now available.  This version supersedes version 3.1.3, released in May of 2005 to the public, adding several new simulation features to the program since that time.  Version 4.0 of HEC-RAS includes the following new features: ·        Sediment Transport/Movable Bed Modeling, Sediment Impact Analysis Methods (SIAM) ·        Water Quality Capabilities ·        User Defined Rules for Controlling Gate Operations ·        Modeling Pressurized Pipe Flow ·        Pump Station Override Rules ·        Hager’s Lateral Weir equation ·        New Channel Design/Modification Tools ·        Geo-Referencing Tools ·        New Gate Types ·        New Functionality for Lateral Weirs ·        Additional Graphical Outputs ·        Shortcut Keys for Graphics ·        User’s Manuals and Help System   Who Would Benefit From Taking This Course? Designed for water resource professionals involved in hydrology, this course covers hydraulics, urban drainage, floodplain management, river modeling, culvert crossing, and bridge design.  This course is for new program users, no prior experience required.   Who Is The Instructor And What Do They Know? Vernon Bonner, P.E. served as Chief of the Training Division at the Hydrologic Engineering Center, and has over 35 years of water resource engineering experience in the areas of water resource planning, reservoir system analysis, river hydraulics, floodplain management, and program administration.  Mr. Bonner also participated in the development of HEC-2, HEC-RAS, HEC-5, and HEC-ResSim software.   Where And When Do I Attend Class? Held at the Auraria Campus in Downtown Denver for 3 Full Days from Monday, March 22 – Wednesday, March 24, 2010; from 9:00am to 5:00pm, with an hour break for lunch   How Much Is This Going To Cost Me, And What Do I Get For My Money? $1,000 tuition includes a large three-ring binder including all course materials (lectures, presentations, notes, workshops, etc), plus the HEC-RAS Software itself, and a portable thumb-drive to keep track of all your in-class workshops. Students who attend all 3 topic sessions earn a Passing Grade and a Certificate of Completion with 2.1 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) equaling 21-hours of in-class attendance; Sign-in on each topic session’s attendance roster required.
