This course will be an interactive seminar that provides a well-blended mixture of lecture presentations covering various design disciplines along with several strategically designed hands-on exercises that provide interaction among participants. The exercises will be developed to include review of documents for a dam rehabilitation project to provide experience to both the novice and experienced dam safety engineer with design review. This course has been developed to provide attendees with a broader background on dam design and specific experience and resources that can be used following the seminar.
