Click here to access trainingThis course trains U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) designers and field engineers for seepage analysis, control, field problems in dams, levees, retaining walls, and slopes. This course is for both novice and experienced engineers. The course uses criteria in Engineer Manual (EM) 1110-2-1901 and EM 1110-2-1913 and Technical Manual 5-818-5, supplemented by field experience.

By USACE Learning Center | Course: 54DAS04A | Control: 26

This course is to provide dam and levee safety professionals formal training in the requirements and best practices of dam and levee instrumentation and performance monitoring programs with emphasis on the importance of timely data collection, evaluation, and reporting. Through instruction, discussion, workshops, and hands-on exercises, students will gain the technical expertise needed to develop an appropriate instrumentation and monitoring program based on potential failure modes analysis.

By USACE Learning Center | Course: 35SCS01A | Control: 262

Click here to access trainingThis course is intended for engineers who want an introduction to the subject of Strength and Stability of Constructed Slopes, as well as for those who would like to review the subject for better understanding. It is not intended for individuals who have never had a basic course in soil mechanics. For many individuals the relevance of the material they studied in college often does not meet the practical applications to the problems encountered in designing and constructing stable slopes. This course summarizes the subject matter into the essential elements of shear strengths required in stability analysis of embankment dams, levees, and slopes in open cuts or natural ground. Students completing this course will be better able to select appropriate shear strength designs in various cases for which stability analyses need to be performed. This course complements and enhances the training in dam safety.

By USACE Learning Center | Course: 0 | Control: 36

Train U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) staff to include managers, engineers, geologists, and technicians on aspects of the USACE levee inspection procedures. The course is also available to non-USACE participants interested or involved with the USACE levee safety inspections. The course intent is to teach new levee inspectors how a variety of levee inspections are conducted. The course will focus on teaching inspectors how to use the inspection checklist, software, and tools required to complete an inspection. The course will also inform students how levee inspections fit within the Levee Safety Program’s risk framework and who should participate during the inspection process. Levee inspection steps covered throughout this course include planning and preparing for inspections, executing safe inspections, completing an inspection report using the proper software, documenting inspection data in the National Levee Database, and effectively communicating results with partners, sponsors, and stakeholders.
