Hydraulic Structure Sizing Course
Master hydraulic structure sizing through step-by-step designs for pipes, open channels, and weirs. Apply Darcy–Weisbach, Manning’s, and weir equations verify headloss, freeboard, and safety factors and create clear, defensible engineering calculations with documented steps and templates for practical use in Sierra Leone contexts.

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 using solid assumptions, documented calculations, and reusable templates suitable for engineering projects.
