Abstract
This course presents information on hydraulics and hydrology as they apply to the
design of storm sewer systems and culverts, as well as instruction on applying
StormCAD software for storm sewer hydraulic design and analysis. The course also
covers advanced features of the StormCAD program, such as scenario management,
project cost calculations, and exchanging data with databases and other
applications. Additionally, the course includes presentations on using CulvertMaster
for culvert design and FlowMaster for basic hydraulic calculations. All of the
software used in the course is accepted by FEMA for National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) usage.
Benefits
Attendees will learn to use the latest version of StormCAD to analyze and design
complex storm sewer networks with inlet bypass flows and gravity and surcharged
pipe flows, and will also gain familiarity with the CulvertMaster and FlowMaster
programs. Students will become familiar with industry-standard FHWA and AASHTO
design procedures and methodologies.
Prerequisites
Understanding of basic hydraulics.
Products Covered
