OverviewHEC-RAS 4.1 (Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System) is software designed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for water resource planning. The program is used by civil engineers for floodplain analysis, and bridge and culvert design. There are also tools for determining one-dimensional steady and unsteady flows, sediment transport, and water temperature.

Course SummaryInstructor Dennis Johnson, Ph.D., is the Chair of Environmental Science & Studies at Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Throughout this three-day workshop, he will teach participants the basic skills necessary to perform hydrological analyses using HEC-RAS.
