The above opportunity and more can be accessed by visiting the TLN Learning Management System (LMS).
Description
This is part 2 of 3 in the Culvert Hydraulics Series. In this presentation, we will discuss various design criteria, define inlet and outlet controls, and prove an understanding of conventional culvert design procedures. The speaker will then introduce FHWA resources: hydraulic toolbox, HY-8 and offer a culvert design workshop.
Participants will need to download the FHWA resources: Hydraulic Toolbox & HY-8 in order to follow along with this presentation as well as the workshop at the end of the session. Both can be accessed here:

Speaker(s)
Dylan Armstrong, PE, is a Hydraulic Engineer with Ayers Associates, Inc in Fort Collins, CO. Dylan specializes in hydraulics engineering, stream rehabilitation, and river mechanics. Dylan has worked on a diverse range of projects including the planning, analysis, design, project management and construction administration for water resource and civil projects. He has extensive engineering project skill experience including GIS, 1D and 2D hydraulic modeling, floodplain permitting, scour calculations, scour countermeasure and design, culvert design, bridge design, hydraulic structure design, dam investigations, flow monitoring, field assessments, habitat analyses, AutoCAD design, stream rehabilitation and river corridor grading, bankfull discharge analyses, hydrologic analyses, and technical report writing. Dylan is a certified FHWA NHI instructor and regularly teaches the Culvert Deign course. Dylan received his Bachelor and Master of Science Degree in Civil Engineering from Colorado State University. He is a registered engineer in Colorado, Wyoming and Washington state.
Matthew Hickox, PE, CFM, Ayers Associates, Inc. Matthew brings his experience and expertise in transportation hydraulics, including urban drainage design, culvert design, scour analysis and counter-measure design, complex hydraulic analyses, floodplain mapping and compliance, and stream restoration, to every project. His experience is founded on a solid understanding of hydrology, 1-, 2- and 3-dimensional hydraulic modeling, in-stream hydraulic structures, scour protection measures, culvert and bridge hydraulics, and the regulatory environment for stormwater projects. He has successfully applied this knowledge to support projects that include the interaction of people and infrastructure with water. Matthew enjoys using his experiences and expertise to enhance his role as an engineer at local, state and federal levels. He firmly believes in passing his knowledge and experiences on to other engineers, helping to further the state of practice.
Target Audience
Hydraulics, Design, Maintenance, Bridge, Construction, and any other staff involved in culvert design, selection, installation and maintenance.
