Highway Hydrology - Part 1

Course No. C-15001

Credit: 15 PDH

Course Fee: $349.95 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Vincent D. Reynolds, M.B.A., P.E.

Overview

This course will examine the hydrologic cycle in order to determine run-off from various land covers encountered in highway design. All facets of the hydrologic cycle will be studied including meteorology, geo-hydrology, sheet flow, channel design, and hydrographs. Several different methods will be presented to determine time of concentration and peak discharge such as regression equations, the SCS graphical method, and the rational method among others.

Highway designers are concerned with the way that water moves on the earth’s surface and crosses transportation arterials. Highway designers are also concerned with providing drainage for curb and gutters, medians, detention basins and interchanges. This course is part I of a two part series. Part I will cover the hydrologic cycle, runoff processes, standard frequency distributions, and design hydrographs.

The course materials are based solely on the materials “Highway Hydrology” as published on the website of the Federal Highway Administration.

To receive PDH credit, the student must take a multiple choice quiz of seventy-five (75) questions.
