Bridge and Weir Design
Cost:
£275.00
Duration:
1.0 day(s)
Overview
One day course providing practical advice on the hydraulic design of bridges and weirs. This course is ‘stand alone’, but also follows on from the Management of Flood Risk to Bridges course to provide the second day of a two day course.
Who should attend
The course is designed for any professional who is likely to be involved in the design of hydraulic assessment of bridges and weirs. It is also relevant to managers and regulators involved in consenting works in watercourses.
Course outcomes
Following the courses, delegates should have a good appreciation of the principles of bridge and weir hydraulic design plus knowledge of environmental, maintenance and health and safety issues. Details of current key references and best practice guides will be provided. The exercises will include hand calculation for weir design and computer analysis of bridge hydraulics/afflux.
