Structural Behavior of Dams for Managers
8 PDHs
Bruce Brand’s “Structural Behavior of Dams” is a 3-day course on Dam Engineering. This Manager’s Version is cut down to 1 day. Its purpose is to inform managers who review the work of those who have taken the 3-day intensive course just what Bruce has been teaching them. It is similar to the 3-day course with less math and less discussion of software. Bruce originally developed the course for FERC engineers, but now is offering it to the dam engineering community.
