Hydraulic Structure Sizing Course
Master hydraulic structure sizing through step-by-step design of pipes, open channels, and weirs. Apply Darcy–Weisbach, Manning’s equation, and weir formulas, verify headloss, freeboard, and safety margins, and create clear, defensible engineering calculations using spreadsheet tools and documented assumptions.

What will I learn?
Gain practical skills to confidently size pipes, channels, and sharp-crested weirs. Master Darcy–Weisbach and Manning’s equations, standard weir formulas, slope and velocity settings, headloss and freeboard checks, plus spreadsheet iterations. Develop defensible designs with solid assumptions, documented calculations, and reusable templates.
