Diseño Hidrológico Hidráulico de Puentes con HEC-RAS

🌫️ Course Title: Modelamiento hidrológico - hidráulico de avenidas torrenciales

Course Description:

Understanding the Basics: In this comprehensive course, "Elaboración de Componente Hidrológico en Estudios de Puentes," Christian Mera Parracourse guides you through the essentials of hydrological and hydraulic modeling specifically for ephemeral river channels (avenidas torrenciales). You will learn how to extract caudal (discharge) values for various periodos de retorno using historical precipitation data from nearby monitoring stations.

Hydraulic Modeling Process: The course is designed to help you master the use of specialized software like Hydraccess for treating precipitation data, HEC RAS for hydraulic modeling and sediment transport analysis, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for various tasks including delineating the watershed, preparing input data, and processing topographic surveys.

Step-by-Step Learning: Christian's teaching approach ensures that you can process all necessary inputs and obtain results at each stage of the modeling process. As you progress through the course, you will apply what you learn in real-time, allowing you to achieve tangible outcomes by the end of the course.

Software Mastery: This course goes beyond just teaching HEC RAS and includes hands-on experience with hydraulic modeling and sediment transport analysis, which are often offered separately in other courses. You will also learn to use R Studio and Microsoft Access for pre-processing precipitation data, which are crucial skills in the field of civil engineering and environmental science.

Precision in Data Handling: It's important to note that while other hydrological modeling courses may focus solely on HEC RAS, this course encompasses the full scope of the analysis, including the pre-treatment of data provided by entities like INAMHI, which typically offer raw data that must be validated and prepared for analysis.

Versatile Skills Acquisition: The knowledge you gain from this course is versatile and can be applied across various disciplines within engineering where estimating streamflow for a given return period based on historical precipitation data is critical.

Key Takeaways:

• Mastery of hydrological and hydraulic modeling techniques for ephemeral river channels.
• Proficiency with specialized software like Hydraccess, HEC RAS, and GIS.
• Practical experience in data pre-treatment using R Studio and Microsoft Access.
• Ability to process inputs and obtain results at each modeling stage.
• Comprehensive understanding of the full hydrological modeling workflow from precipitation data to streamflow analysis.
