Short Courses
“Vessel Berthing & Mooring”Sunday, March 25, 2007 | 8:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Coordinators: John Gaythwaite & Martin Eskijian
This one-day short course will provide attendees an introduction to the determination of vessel berthing and mooring requirements and the forces they impose on fixed structures such as piers and wharves including offshore terminals, as well as typical port structures but not including chain and anchor type free swinging or spread moorings. The course is focused on giving civil/structural engineers necessary background information for designing and evaluating berthing and mooring structures. This course comes with the option of purchasing “Design of Marine Facilities for the Berthing, Mooring and Repair of Vessels”, 2nd Edition.
Cost of the course is:
Member, without book: $200
Non-member, without book: $225
Member, including book: $280
Non-member, including book: $305
You will earn 8.5 PDHs for this course.
“Geotextile Tubes for Dredged Material Dewatering”
Sunday, March 25, 2007 | 8:00a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Coordinator: Doug Gaffney
This half-day short course will familiarize professionals in the dredging industry with the design and use of geotextile tubes. Attendees will learn about how tubes are fabricated and how to apply them to a dredging project. Typical calculations and practical design considerations will be covered. Case histories will be presented that show both successes and failures.
Cost of the course is:
Member: $100
Non-member: $125
You will earn 4 PDHs for this course.
“Coastal Hazard Analysis and Mapping”
Sunday, March 25, 2007 | 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Coordinator: Darryl Hatheway
This short-course has been developed to provide a review of existing guidance related to Federal Emergency and Management Agency (FEMA) criteria for analyzing and mapping coastal hazards for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The short-course will discuss methods and procedures to revise or update a community DFIRM to reflect the current conditions, and determine site or facility risks to coastal flooding and waves. Specific discussion will be included on the FEMA adopted procedures and evaluation criteria developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) and published in the 2003 FEMA coastal hazard guidance document and CERC Technical Report-89-15. Additional clarification will be provided on how this information is used to revise or update the coastal hazard information depicted on DFIRMs to recognize proposed and existing coastal structural improvements to port and harbor facilities designed to mitigate flood and wave impacts.
Cost of course is:
Member: $100
Non-member: $125You will earn 4 PDHs for this course.
