CIVIL ENGINEERING PDH COURSES

---

This course deals with topics related to Natural Phenomena Analysis and Design Criteria include Seismic, Wind, Tornado/Hurricane design, flood/Tsunami, lightning, precipitating, and volcanic eruption. 

The objective of this educational course is to review an example set of guidelines regarding Hoisting and Rigging. The course addresses the following items that are not covered in detail in the referenced industry or OSHA standards. 

The objective of this educational course is to review engineering, design & construction guidelines for Conduits, Culverts, & Pipes. This includes trench/embankment earth loadings, highway loadings, railroad loadings, surface concentrated loadings, and internal/external fluid pressures.

This course is divided into two main chapters the first of which outlines the design characteristics of simple flow measurement devices which are typically easier and less expensive to produce. Measuring water in open channels is an important first step toward water conservation.     

The purpose of this course is to provide technical criteria and guidance for the planning and design of concrete gravity dams for civil works projects. Specific areas covered include design considerations, load conditions, stability requirements, and methods of stress analysis.

This course provides a general discussion of methods to slow corrosion of multistrand steel cables embedded in concrete. Pros and cons (or benefits and challenges) of using each method for multistrand anchor cables embedded in mass concrete structures will also be presented.  

 Forklifts are classified as materials-handling equipment. With the variety of makes and models of forklifts used in industries, this course covers the characteristics and basic principles/operations of forklifts so they can be utilized in a safe and responsible manner.

With the variety of makes and models of forklifts used in the Navy and the NCF, this course covers the general characteristics and basic principles of operations of front-end loaders, excavators, and ditchers. 

The scraper is a large earthmover with the capability of digging, loading, hauling, dumping, and spreading material. This course covers the characteristics and basic principles of graders and scrapers operations. 

This course covers the general characteristics and basic principles of dozer and roller operations used as follows: as a prime mover for pushing or pulling loads, as a power unit for winch operations, or as a dozer for earthwork operations and demolition work. 

 This course covers the characteristics and basic principles of operations of cranes and attachments. By reading the operator’s manual and attending crane school, you can obtain detailed information about crane operations. 

This course presents only the basic components, procedures, and principles of paving operations. The extensive knowledge and skills, required to perform the operations, must be gained through formal training and on-the-job-training experience. 

The objective of this course is to review topographic techniques and surveying methods for Land Surveying.  This course provides general guidance on Terrestrial 3D Scanners.  The course provides an overview of 3D laser scanners used for detailed mapping of facilities, structures, utilities, and ground planes.  

The objective of this course is to review topographic techniques and surveying methods for Land Surveying.  This course provides general guidance on Total Stations & RTK Topographic Surveyings.  The course provides an overview of general guidance on the use of total stations on topographic surveys. 

The objective of this course is to review topographic techniques and surveying methods for Land Surveying.  This course provides general guidance on the fundamentals of Surveying Site Plans, Maps & Documentation.  

The objective of this course is to review topographic techniques and surveying methods for Land Surveying. Control and topographic surveys are performed to determine the planimetric location and/or elevation of surface or subsurface features, facilities, or utilities.  

There are many methods/tools that can be used to collect elevation for input into an elevation model, including conventional ground surveys, photogrammetry, and remote sensing.  One method/tool for collecting elevation data is LIDAR 

This course examines research done by the US Army Corps of Engineers that sought to use the Yeti rover to conduct proof-of-concept autonomous surveys of sea-ice thickness in McMurdo Sound to demonstrate improved efficiency relative to manual surveys. 

This course summarizes the cooperative June 2017 UAS for FRM pilot field experiment; sections detail participating groups, airframes, field preparation/field operations, and data dissemination. 

The aim of this course is to highlight the differences between Lidar and SFM imaging, and determine is SFM imaging can be used as a replacement for Lidar, due to decreased cost, and often times more efficient than Lidar.
