| RC 201 | Natural Channel Design Principles | 3 days | |
This 3-day workshop provides an overview of natural channel design applications for stream restoration design. Students work in small groups in the field to survey a reference reach and analyze data to develop design parameters. They work through the process of developing a morphological table listing design parameters for stream channel dimension, pattern, and profile, and then develop stream channel layouts, typical cross-sections, and longitudinal profiles, and apply basic sediment transport calculations. Other topics include in-stream structures, plan sheet development, design specifications, and construction. Students are encouraged to bring laptops for spreadsheet applications. This workshop requires completion of RC 101 or equivalent background in stream morphology assessment. Instructors: Greg Jennings, Phd, PE, Barbara Doll, PE, Jan Patterson, PE, Jason Zink,PE, Zan Price, PE Registration Fee: $675 Workshop Date: May 3-5, 2011 Hotel Accommodations: Four Points Sheraton, 22 Woodfin St., Asheville, NC 28801

| RC 221 | Computer Aided Design for Stream Restoration | 4 days | |
This 4-day class will introduce attendees to the basics and some advanced concepts of Computer Aided Design (CAD). The theory and functionality of using computer based surveying and drafting tools will be explained to experienced level users. This class will be based on the AutoCAD and Autodesk’s Civil 3D software. Attendees will utilize hands-on exercises in our computing labs to learn how to import and utilize real-world surveying and GIS data for watershed, terrain, and site analysis. The course will use applied fluvial geomorphology and natural channel design as a basis for teaching the concepts of the AutoCAD applications. These applications are useful in minimizing the risk and uncertainty of any design process for river restoration. Registration Fee: $975 |
