What will I learn?
The Hydraulic Structure Sizing Course gives you practical skills to size pipes, channels, and sharp-crested weirs with confidence. Learn to apply Darcy–Weisbach, Manning’s equation, and standard weir formulas, set slopes and velocities, check headloss and freeboard, and use spreadsheet-based iterations. Build clear, defensible designs with solid assumptions, documented calculations, and ready-to-use templates.
