Details
TRB conducted a webinar on Tuesday, August 30, 2016 from 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET that discussed research from National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 795: Design Methods for In-Stream Flow Control Structures. In-stream flow control structures are used to limit lateral migration and reduce bank erosion. This webinar focused on which in-stream flow control structures are effective for protecting against erosion and scour and for habitat restoration.

This webinar was requested by the TRB Standing Committee on Seismic Design and Performance of Bridges. A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who registered and attended the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at RGillum@nas.edu for instructions on receiving a copy of the recorded webinar. 

Here are the slides from the presentation. 

Webinar Presenters
  • Ali Khosronejad, Stony Brook University
Moderated by: Michael Fazio, City of Bluffdale, Utah

Webinar Outline
  1. Overview of NCHRP
  2. Developing in-stream flow control structure guidance combining field, laboratory, and numerical experiment
    • Development of in-stream flow control structure design guidance
    • Field and laboratory scale experiments in straight and meandering channels
    • Field scale numerical experiments using a state-of-the-art coupled hydrodynamic and bed morphodynamic model
  3. Question and answer
The first 60 minutes of the webinar will be for presentations and the final 30 minutes will be reserved for audience questions. The Registered Continuing Education Program (RCEP) categorizes this webinar activity as relating to health, safety, and welfare including core technical.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
  • Understand in-stream structure selection based on project goals and channel characteristics
  • Understand the design of in-stream structure layout in meandering channels based on channel characteristics
  • Understand common failure mechanisms and the need for monitoring or maintenance
  • Understand the use of advanced hydro-morphodynamic computational models for in-stream structure design

Professional Development Hour Information

A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) will be provided to Professional Engineers (PEs) who register and attend the webinar as an individual. For groups, only the person that registers and attends the session will receive a PDH certificate.

Individuals registered as Florida PEs are no longer required to email TRB with your license number to report your attendance. Instead, please use your certificate that TRB provides through RCEP.net as verification of your attendance to the Florida Board of Professional Engineers.

Please check with your licensing board to ensure that TRB webinar PDHs are approved by your board.

This webinar was developed in March 2016. TRB has met the standards and requirements of the Registered Continuing Education Program (RCEP). Credit earned on completion of this program will be reported to RCEP by TRB. Certificates of Completion will be issued to individuals who register for and attend the entire webinar session. Complaints about registered providers may be sent to RCEP, 1015 15th Street, NW, 8th Floor, Washington, DC 20005. Website: www.RCEP.net.
