| Martin J. Teal, P.E., P.H., D.WRE
has worked with hydraulic models for more than 15 years and is currently a Vice-President with WEST Consultants. His experience includes working as a hydraulic engineer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and as a civil engineer for a large multinational firm in Chile. In his years as a private consultant with WEST, he has dealt with complex hydraulic, hydrologic, and sedimentation problems. He has used computational models, such as HEC-RAS, as a principal tool to deal with these problems for clients in both the public and private sectors throughout the United States and internationally. Mr. Teal earned his B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, and his M.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering (Hydraulics) from the University of Iowa. He has taught HEC-RAS courses since 1997 throughout the U.S. and Latin America. |
Raymond Walton, Ph.D., P.E., D.WRE
has nearly 30 years of experience directing water resources projects for a variety of federal, state, local government and private clients. He is a nationally-recognized expert in water resources and computer modeling, including surface water, groundwater and water quality systems. He is currently a Vice-President with WEST Consultants.
Dr. Walton started with the Rivers Division of Hydraulic Research Station in the U.K., developing and applying hydraulic flood routing models. He taught hydraulics, hydrology, water resources, and mechanics at N.C. State University. He then worked for more than 15 years for two large firms on the east coast and in Washington state, where he managed numerous water resources engineering and modeling studies. He has applied models to numerous rivers, estuaries and coastal areas to simulate flooding, circulation, and water quality, and he has applied HEC-RAS to more than 100 river systems throughout the United States. He received his B.Sc. in Mathematics from University College, London, his M.Sc. in Engineering Hydrology from the University of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, and his Ph.D. in Hydraulics from the University of Florida. Christopher R. Goodell, P.E., D.WRE
is a senior hydraulic engineer with WEST Consultants with 10 years of experience in computational hydraulics, river hydraulics and hydraulic design. He spent two years at the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) actively working on the development of HEC-RAS. In addition, Mr.Goodell is a contributing author to the HEC-RAS manuals and has applied HEC-RAS to a wide range of complex problems, including dam breaks, bridge and culvert hydraulics, spillway and outlet works design, stable channel design, and floodplain mapping. He also has experience in moveable bed hydraulics and has contributed to the incorporation of sediment transport and sediment impact modeling into HEC-RAS. Mr.Goodell earned his B.S.degree in civil engineering at Oregon State University and his M.Eng. in Hydraulic Engineering from the International Institute for Hydraulic Engineering (IHE) in Delft, The Netherlands.
Mr.Goodell has taught HEC-RAS courses and provided technical support for HEC-RAS since 2000. | Back to Top | | | | | This intensive, hands-on, three day seminar and computer workshop will prepare the engineer and water resource professional to use the HEC-RAS computer program in “real world” situations. Led by experts with experience in hydraulic modeling, participants learn how to conduct water surface profiles, bridge hydraulics, and flood plain information studies using the steady flow capabilities of HEC-RAS. Unsteady flow capabilities are taught in a separate companion class “HEC-RAS Computer Workshop for Unsteady Flow Applications.” The HEC-RAS modeling system was developed as part of the Hydrologic Engineering Center’s “Next Generation” software and replaces several existing Corps of Engineers programs, including the HEC-2 water surface profile program. HEC-RAS incorporates various aspects of hydraulic modeling, including water surface profile computations and bridge hydraulics. HEC-RAS advances in open channel hydraulic analysis include: - Automatic analysis of sub-critical and super-critical flow regimes in a single analysis.
- Availability of all widely used methods for bridge and culvert hydraulic analysis.
- Ability to perform bridge scour analysis including pier contraction and abutment scour.
- Many other capabilities developed from years of experience with HEC-2 and other major hydraulic analysis computer programs.
While offering these advanced capabilities, HEC-RAS remains compatible with HEC-2 and will import almost any correctly-assembled HEC-2 input data file, perform hydraulic analysis, and will yield essentially the same results as HEC-2 for the same input data. All major HEC-2 program features and options have been incorporated in
HEC-RAS, including bridge and culvert analysis, and floodway computations. HEC-RAS is user friendly, computationally efficient, and runs within, and fully supports, the Microsoft Windows environment. It uses the latest graphical user interface (GUI) technology for data entry, graphics, and display of program results. Complete context-sensitive help screens are available for every program feature and option. Software includes the following functions: file management, data entry and editing, hydraulic analyses, tabulation and graphical displays of input and output data, reporting facilities, and on-line help. HEC-RAS is one of the most extensively-tested civil engineering computer programs ever developed. In addition to extensive in-house testing at the Hydrologic Engineering Center and at other Corps of Engineers’ offices, the program has been through two full “beta” releases, during which the program was tested by thousands of engineers in the private and public sectors. Workshop participants receive the following publications and software: - HEC-RAS Course Notes and Workshop Problems
- HEC-RAS User’s Manual (digital copy)
- HEC-RAS Hydraulic Reference Manual (digital copy)
- HEC-RAS Application Guide (digital copy)
- HEC-RAS Example Problems (digital copy)

| Back to Top | | | | Attendees’ Comments "A great course for a bridge engineer who needs to model bridge and culvert openings related to the waterflow entering and leaving the structure. This was a very practical seminar for figuring out effects of flow on the headwater depths needed for precise calculations required by FEMA and public works."
Tom Brayshaw, Assistant Bridge Engineer, Cincinnati, OH
"An excellent course to learn the model and get going with HEC-RAS."
Dr. Craig Findlay, P.E., G.E., President,
Findlay Engineering Inc., Yarmough, ME
"The content of the course was a good mix of basic input and theory. The instructor not only pointed out limitations of the software, but the way to work around the limitations."
Brian M. Stone, Engineer III, EA Engineering, Syracuse, NY
"Hearing a review of fluid mechanics, the practical and virtual
application, was very helpful rather than an all equation approach."
Rosemary Lewis, Littleton, CO
"Very impressed with the instructors' knowledge on the subject and now I have a greater confidence in using this program."
Juliane Junes, Staff Engineer, Morrison Maierle, Tempe, AZ “Excellent and practical presentation with real-world examples and applications.”
–Carl B. Schoder, Schoder Rivers Associates, Lake George, NY
“The instructor had excellent knowledge of the material. This course was an excellent training tool to learn the use of the software.”
–Ray L. Standish, Deputy Commissioner of Public Works, Binghamton, NY
“An excellent workshop with an excellent instructor. The workshop was very beneficial and provided a working knowledge of the HEC-RAS program as well as understanding of underlying theories.”
–L. Ashley Porter, P.E., President, Porter Consulting Engineers, PC, Meadville, PA
“Excellent course!. The course both taught me new modeling concepts and confirmed the limited knowledge I had in HEC-RAS. The theory and output analysis was a huge benefit in understanding the way the program runs and applying engineering judgment to adjust the input for more logical results.”
