Sediment Transport
Course Highlights

This online engineering CPD course provides a comprehensive understanding of sediment transport focusing on water's role as a medium for initiating and moving sediment.

 

This course explores the key characteristics of both water and sediment, and how their direct interaction influences the type, volume, and behavior of materials being eroded, transported, and deposited. It delves into critical issues such as channel instability, including erosion and aggradation, and provides the tools needed to evaluate and predict the effects of proposed changes on sediment transport processes. Understanding the type and quantity of sediment transported in a project is vital for effective planning, design, maintenance, and replacement decisions.

 

This 3 CPD online course is ideal for civil and geotechnical engineers, as well as other professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge of sediment transport dynamics and evaluation techniques.
Learning Objectives

This continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Knowing the interrelated characteristics of water that affect its ability to entrain and move sedimentary particles
  • Learning formulas and methods for predicting bed-material transport rates
  • Familiarizing with the mechanism for sediment entrainment
  • Understanding the sampling and laboratory procedures for suspended sediments
