It gives broad-base instructions on corrosion and corrosion protection using protective coating and state-of-the-art procedures that can be employed on Corps and other civil projects, which can aid in attaining better and, from a long-range viewpoint, more economical paint jobs. Although this manual is not intended to be a general textbook on coatings and coatings application, the complexity of the modern coatings field justifies something more than a bare, utilitarian approach to the presentation of useful information. Therefore, moderately detailed discussions of coating materials and characteristics of applied coating systems are included, even though their immediate usefulness may not be apparent to those who are interested only in "practical" information. Materials such as galvanizing, metallizing, and protective tapes are also discussed even though they are not commonly considered paints or coatings. The inclusion of these subjects illustrates that the protection of metal surfaces cannot logically be divided into precise, independent subjects. Because this manual will be used extensively as a reference it includes a complete topic index to facilitate locating specific information. In addition, Appendices will help locate references to particular standard specifications. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials. |

PDH
Course Description:
This three-hour course discusses the types of air permits that will be needed
to comply with state and federal regulations. Requirements for filing air
permit applications will be required for new facilities at new sites, new
installations at existing sites, and changes that include modifications,
reactivations, or relocations of existing emission sources. Since 1990, the
EPA has been proposing and promulgating maximum achievable control technology
(MACT) rules for the title V facilities that will result in changes to
existing facilities just to comply. The MACT rule changes pioneered the
concept of process changes as well as air pollution control equipment changes
for compliance. The current requirements for air permitting now include
existing facilities that will need to change processes or add-on air
pollution control equipment. Permits are categorized as major, medium, and
minor depending upon the category of the facility and the quantities of air
pollutant emissions generated annually. This course will enable the student
to comprehend the types of permits necessary when changing existing facility
emission sources or adding new emission sources. Understanding these air
permits will also enable the student to select the permit type for the
facility. |

Course Description:
This six-hour online course discusses the types of engineering skills,
duties, and responsibilities generally applied to the preparation of air permit
applications. Filing air permit applications will be required for installing
new facilities at new sites, installing new equipment or increasing
production capacity at existing sites, and changing air pollutant emission
discharges when modifying, reactivating, or relocating existing emission
sources. State and federal regulatory agencies provide outlines, checklists,
instructions, blank forms, environmental rules, and resource information to
guide the permit writer. Permit applications are processed more efficiently
when the technical information is based on sound engineering principles. The
duties, tasks, and responsibilities of the engineer start with developing
clear descriptions of the planned new or modified equipment, process changes,
or air pollution control equipment based upon Information from qualified
suppliers, from state and federal regulatory agency guidance documents, and
from environmental rule requirements. After determining the specific reasons
for the permit application, the engineer alone or as a part of a work team
will collect data and details for the changes planned at the facility;
calculate production capacities, emissions, and air pollution control
equipment efficiencies; prepare site, process, and equipment drawings;
compare the environmental plans with existing information available from many
state agencies and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
complete the required permit application forms, and provide the assembly in
the checklist order specified by the specific reviewing agency. This course
will enable the student to learn the engineering tasks, duties, and
responsibilities that apply to the preparation of air permit applications
meeting the requirements of state and federal regulatory agencies. This course
includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end. |

Many state building code agencies are now adopting the International Building Code (IBC) and International Fire Code (IFC) as a national code consensus takes hold. North Carolina has adopted the IBC effective January 1, 2002. To protect the motoring public and to enhance air quality, the NC Fire Code, IFC, US EPA and the NC Division of Air Quality has formulated regulations and codes regarding the storage of Petroleum. The NC State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors have also required that a Professional Engineer (PE) seal all plans regarding ASTs/USTs installations, piping, ancillary equipment upgrades, and vapor recovery system installations for further protection of the public and environment. . This course includes a multiple choice quiz at the end. |

PDH Course Description: To safeguard propane installations, the NFPA and the US EPA have developed the FSA and O&M instructions that all-applicable propane facilities must comply within a certain time frame. In some states a licensed professional engineer must fully understand and prepare the FSA plan. The 2001 edition of the National Fire Protection Associations (NFPA) Pamphlet 58, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code requires a written Fire Safety Analysis (FSA) and written Operations & Maintenance Instructions. These requirements originated at the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Risk Management Program (RMP). The NFPA 58 requirements are much less restrictive than what the EPA originally proposed. The requirement for a written (FSA) for all tank installations over 4,000 gallons aggregate capacity becomes effective when your State adopts the 2001 edition NFPA 58, section 3.10, Fire Protection. New propane bulk plants and tank installations and for ASME tank installations on roofs, must complete an FSA before completion of the new facility. Also, a written FSA is required for all-existing bulk plants, tanks and roof installations by three years after the effective date of the code. In North Carolina, a professional engineer registered in North Carolina must prepare the FSA. Other guidelines for an alternative FSA come under the NC Department of Agriculture. The other RMP-like requirements are found in the new Chapter 11 of NFPA 58, Operations and Maintenance. This requires written procedures for safely conducting LP-Gas activities at bulk and industrial plants. Also, these procedures must be kept up to date. Similarly, maintenance procedures must be prepared and implemented. These must be made available to contractors coming on site to do maintenance. Be sure to look at NFPA 58, Appendix A, sections A.11.2.1 and A.11.2.2 for some guidance for what is expected in these procedures and what you may use to help you prepare them. This course includes a multiple choice quiz at the end. |

PDH Course Description: This course provides the user with an overview of incident investigation. The motivation for this course is to outline a procedure of incident investigation that is objective and satisfies most regulatory requirements. Many incident investigations and reports are done with prejudice. Conclusions and recommendations are often predetermined to suit the goals of the investigators. This could occur intentionally or unintentionally. In this course an effort is made to present a means to minimize the bias that can enter an investigation. Also, an incident investigation procedure/format that is in general compliance with OSHA/EPA regulations is difficult to find. One can usually obtain from OSHA or EPA an outline for an investigation procedure. These usually do not have much practical value in that they are usually for a specific regulation or simply outline the procedure that OSHA or EPA agents should use for their own investigations. Most facilities must comply with multiple investigation/reporting requirements as listed in various OSHA and EPA regulations. This course outlines a general procedure designed to comply with most OSHA and EPA regulations. It is not possible to ensure compliance with ALL regulations; however, by following the guidelines in this course one should be able to minimize repeat investigations and reports. This course includes a multiple choice quiz at the end. |

This course will discuss the design considerations of bridge falsework and
the causes of failure as each element of the falsework system is discussed.
The principals of falsework design apply to any temporary structural system
designed to support the weight of a permanent structure during erection and
until the permanent structure is self supporting. Post-tensioned box girder
bridge falsework is selected for discussion because it can contain all of the
complications that can result in structural failure. Bridge falsework often
must span traffic, rivers and safely support massive weights in adverse
conditions. |

paper work and technical documents available make a short synopsis of the
subject necessary. Petroleum UST environmental compliance, operations and
maintenance installation regulations change constantly regarding the storage
of Flammable & Combustible Liquids. The clean up of petroleum
contaminated soils and water from leaking underground storage tanks (LUSTs)
constantly stay active in all states. Most states have trust funds set aside
to facilitate federal and/or state clean up standards. |

Course Description:
Many facilities, plant or maintenance engineers are faced with natural and manmade
disasters every year. These same engineers are often ill equipped to deal
with the mayhem that occurs following a disaster. This course provides
guidelines for making sure facilities are initially designed or modified to
be more robust during a disaster. Then the critical task of mitigating
further building damage, immediately following a disaster, is addressed.
Finally the important point of identifying damage and properly rebuilding
after a disaster are covered. |

Course Description:
The value of electronic mail in the technical and engineering fields is
without question. Email is cheaper and faster than a letter, less intrusive
than a phone call, and less hassle than a facsimile (FAX). When using email,
differences in location and time zone are less of an obstacle to
communication. The internet can be used to instantly transmit drawing
revisions to project team members located anywhere on the planet. Almost all
drawing files and project documents are now sent via email attachments.
Coupled with digital photography, email allows real-time project field
conditions to be easily visually, as well as descriptively, conveyed over
vast distances. |

PDH Course Description: This course describes methods for evaluating flood-runoff characteristics of watersheds based on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Design Manual on Flood-Runoff Analysis. Guidance is provided in selecting and applying such methods. The manual references publications that contain the theoretical basis of the methods and detailed information on their use. The manual is organized into four parts. Part I, Problem Definition and Selection of Methodology, describes the products of flood-runoff analysis and the types of investigation for which these products are required. Aspects of flood hydrology are discussed, including physical processes, data availability, and broad approaches to analysis. Guidance in formulating study procedures is provided, which includes criteria for method selection and recommended content for a hydrologic engineering management plan (HEMP). Part II, Hydrologic Analysis, provides information on techniques for simulating various components of the hydrologic cycle, including rainfall, snow, infiltration (loss), surface and subsurface runoff, and flow in channels and reservoirs. Multisubbasin modeling and design storm definition are discussed. Part III, Methods for Flood-Runoff Analysis, addresses the application of simplified techniques, frequency analysis of streamflow data, precipitation-runoff simulation of storm events, and period-of-record precipitation-runoff simulation. Data requirements and calibration/ verification of simulation models are considered. Part IV, Engineering Applications, deals with several issues associated with the application of methods from Part III. The processing of data can be time-consuming and costly; techniques for efficient data handling are addressed. The lack of historical streamflow data is the source of much difficulty and uncertainty in flood-runoff analysis. Aspects of dealing with "ungauged" basins are discussed. Issues associated with the development of frequency-based estimates are covered, including the concept of calibration to "known" frequency information. Various aspects of modeling land use change, as well as the effects of reservoir and other projects, are discussed. Finally, three examples illustrate some of the principles presented in this manual. Appendices A and B provide references, a generic HEMP, and a set of example applications. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials. |

Course Description:
Clean steam is a utility service provided in facilities where contamination
of products must be prevented, most typically in pharmaceutical manufacturing
facilities producing sterile materials. Conventional plant steam contains
boiler additives which can potentially cause contamination, and the purpose
of clean steam is to avoid this. The requirement to produce chemically pure
steam without additives leads to a number of significant differences from
conventional steam systems, both in its generation and distribution. |

employs him because the surveyor has skills upon which the client is entitled

It is fair to say that the body of common law is more comprehensive than
statute law, it covers more ground. Therefore it is probable that a
practicing surveyor will find more frequent recourse to common law.
Unfortunately common law is not as conveniently documented, as is statute
law. Luckily it is comprised of the principles established from cases that
have been submitted by parties to legal actions so one way to discover their
element is to study those cases. It is often through them that principles currently
in force have been built. |

PDH Course Description: Course Description The Global Positioning System (GPS) has revolutionized the fields of navigation, mapping and surveying. It is now routinely possible to know your location within about 10 meters (30 feet) anywhere in the world with inexpensive, hand-held commercial GPS receivers. It is also possible to use GPS for surveying at sub-centimeter accuracy, for control and monitoring of construction equipment and agricultural machinery, guidance of autonomous robots, and aircraft, vehicle and marine navigation. This course provides an explanation of how the GPS system works, sources of errors, and methods used for improving the basic accuracy of the system, including Differential GPS. The wide range of GPS applications are reviewed and the main types and features of GPS receivers are discussed. The terminology used in manufacturer’s specification sheets is explained so you can compare various units. Finally, the course summarizes what you, the potential user, needs to understand in order to select the appropriate equipment for the intended use. As such, the principles and concepts presented here are equally useful to all types of engineers, constructors, architects, contractors, building inspectors, surveyors, scientists, and the general public. The course outline is presented below:
The course is approximately 40 pages long including one Table and 17 Figures. A glossary of the most commonly used terms and acronyms is provided as a reference document. A multiple choice quiz is available online. Performance Objectives At the end of this course, you should understand the operation of the GPS system at a level sufficient to use GPS receivers for navigation and general positioning applications. You will be familiar with the meanings of the words and acronyms most commonly used in GPS literature, sales brochures, and manufacturer’s specification sheets. You will know what questions to ask potential vendors about their GPS equipment and how to decide what features you may need for your intended uses. You will also be familiar with the sources of error affecting GPS accuracy, how to improve the accuracy to the level you need, and the options available for accessing Differential GPS corrections. |

This course discusses the processes and procedures involved in handling
coordinates in surveying, mapping and GIS. Since most, if not all, of these
processes and procedures are now computerized the need for understanding them
is not always immediately apparent. However, without that understanding the
user can be led astray, quickly and disastrously by the same computer
programs that make coordinate manipulation so automatic. Incorrect
coordinates can, at a stroke, dramatically erode confidence in an entire body
of work. |

Course Description:
“The magnitude of the greatest land-measurement project in history is mind-boggling.
Never was so much land surveyed in so short a time under the same
standardized methods,” said Hildegard Johnson in Order upon the Land: The US
Rectangular Survey and the Upper Mississippi Country in 1976. Of the 1.8
billion acres that were once in the public domain more than 1 billion are now
in private hands. The orderly transfer of so much property, and its continued
clear description, is due, in large part to the success of the Public Land
Survey System (PLSS). Flying over the plains states in the middle of the
country it is possible to actually see the wonder of it, the square
quilt-like pattern is a testament to the surveyors that created those corners
and those lines. |

Course Description:
A great deal of attention is given to pump discharge pipe design because this
is where continuing operational economics come to bear: Engineering know-how
regarding pipe size and configuration in an attempt to optimize installed
cost versus long-term power consumption is emphasized here. However, just as
important are sump design, suction piping design, suction pipe size, and
suction pipe support. These are all critical considerations when proper and
successful pump operation is at stake. It is here on the suction side of the
pump that chronic problems within the pump are perpetuated and sometimes
magnified. From this side blossoms the cost associated with maintenance,
reliability, and lost production due to downtime. This course focuses on the
sometimes neglected and often overlooked aspects of pumping fundamental
practices that comprise good suction arrangements. |

PDH
Course Description:
Predicting static pressure in a compressible flow system with a constant area
duct is a useful tool in modeling or designing gas flowing pneumatic systems.
Gas pneumatic systems are used extensively in industrial, aviation, and
aerospace systems. Gases, specifically inert gases, can be used to inert
cryogenic or hypergolic fuel and oxidizer systems, pressurize liquid storage
tanks, provide gas seals for hydraulic machinery, or in future automobiles to
power turbine driven gear boxes. The uses are endless, but designing or
modeling requires understanding and optimizing the system using engineering
science. This course will review adiabatic flow with friction (Fanno Flow) in
a constant-area duct, and derive an algorithm to predict static pressure. |

A little known fact is that less than 5% of the lawsuits filed ever make it
to trial. Yes, 5%. Some are dropped, some are settled along the way, and a
larger percentage are settled the week before trail or settled on the
courthouse steps. Settlement, late in the game, is after you have already
spent 95% of your legal fees - money that could have been used towards a
settlement offer. Unfortunately, on the courthouse steps, that money is
already sunk cost. The earlier you settle, the more legal cost you are able
to avoid and there is more money available for settlement. This does not take
into account the cost of the parties' internal time and expense, which can
run as high as the legal cost. Time wasted that could be spent on more
productive activities such as securing new business or executing existing

PDH Course Description: To survive in the twenty-first century, organizations had to become lean, flexible, innovative, and customer driven. Most had to reengineer their business processes. They had to abandon antiquated ideas about how organizations should be structured and managed. They had to rethink not just how to do things faster, better, and more economical, but whether to do them at all! Project teams are expected to complete critical, complex undertakings on time, within budget, and according to both internal and external customer needs and expectations. Over and over, we have heard our students comment that their jobs were made harder because "upper management" did not understand project management. The very people who appointed the project managers did not know what was involved in establishing multi-functional project teams and working within a matrix. The concept of empowerment was foreign to them and they found it difficult not to meddle in the day-to-day business of managing projects. Because leadership requires the ability to influence others toward achievement of a shared goal, managers/executives who seek to supervise project managers most effectively, need to understand how project management really works. They need to understand the challenges, frustrations, and the opportunities project managers deal with on a daily basis. This course gives managers/executives the working knowledge of the project management process they need. It enables them to speak the language, understand the issues, and make informed judgments concerning projects that are essential to the overall success of their organization. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end. |

Course Description:
Today, industry is embracing a bold, new view of the process of management.
Change, driven by the desire and pressure to improve, creates short-term objectives.
These short-term objectives require us to improve upon all aspects of
operations, including our traditional management techniques. These
objectives, which we call "projects", define unique, one time tasks
requiring workers from many disciplines. Projects are usually too large and
complex to be executed, effectively within the traditional, functional
management organization. Therefore, a new organizational form, called project
management, has emerged. This results-oriented, roll up your sleeves, course
is designed for project managers, functional managers and key project team
members. In other words, this course is for the very people who are
accountable and responsible for achieving predetermined multi-disciplinary
project performance objectives on schedule, within allocated cost while
delighting customers! Personnel, who support projects, either directly or
indirectly, should also take this course. |

Course Description:
Today, industry is embracing a bold, new view of the process of management.
Change, driven by the desire and pressure to improve, creates short-term
objectives. These short-term objectives require us to improve upon all
aspects of operations, including our traditional management techniques. These
objectives, which we call "projects", define unique, one time tasks
requiring workers from many disciplines. Projects are usually too large and
complex to be executed, effectively within the traditional, functional management
organization. Therefore, a new organizational form, called project
management, has emerged. This results-oriented, roll up your sleeves, course
is designed for project managers, functional managers and key project team

Course Description:
In today's shrinking world with increasing competition and the financial
markets' increasing pressure on corporate earnings, project managers are
being required to meet customer satisfaction, profitability, cash flow and
company strategic goals all at the same time. Although the push for better,
faster, cheaper has always been around, we as project managers have generally
been able to live within the world that has been our projects with little
regard for the goings on outside our projects. But organizations are
constantly being challenged and changed - flatten, downsized, merged, etc. -
in the ultimate game to increase shareholder value. As many organizations are
becoming more project-based, it is imperative that the project manager
understand not only the best ways to execute within his projects but also how
these projects fit in to the financial and strategic objectives of the
company as a whole. |

PDH Course Description: Of the numerous types of architecture/engineering design that are commonly practiced, successful retail and other short-cycle design programs require specific strategies. The nature of these programs favors timeliness with minimal design cost, typically sacrificing individual project creativity to satisfy owner desires for speed and efficiency. Many owners facilitate this type of design through a number of methods not commonly associated with commercial or other more customized design: development of standardized criteria drawing sets, establishment of expected fee structures, provision of standard construction specifications, establishment of national accounts for specialized design or equipment and providing varying levels of owner-employed staff to oversee institution and quality control of such standards. For new or seasoned design firms, producing designs that meet owner expectations of these standards can be challenging. Added to these challenges are the nuances that arise when a single design firm strives to please multiple owners whose final constructed facilities are very similar, but whose standardized design and construction procedures differ. This lesson covers a number of topics and strategies to help the design professional achieve success in this quick-moving market segment. The goal of this lesson is to present a number of different topics that should be considered by firms involved in retail or short cycle design. As opposed to a how-to manual, it instead attempts to be a thought-provoking endeavor. It is most effective when each subsection is approached with the attitude of "Have we considered that…if already implemented are there ways of making it better?" This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

An engineer, architect, or other young professional cannot be a good
construction manager without comprehending the documents that are organized
to create a construction contract. The construction contract is often
misinterpreted, misused or blatantly ignored. Contract documents are project
specific and can vary significantly for differing projects. Achieving even a
basic understanding of the content, organization, and legal power of the
contract will allow an inexperienced professional to administer the contract
more effectively. This course will provide the student an understanding of the
content that comprises a good construction contract. A brief discussion of

Course Description:
This course discusses the highlights of the process known as outsourcing.
That is, the contracted delegation of certain business activities to
non-employees. Small business tasks fall into two categories: those that are
considered core, such as those technical activities you perform as an
architect, engineer, or land surveyor, and those that are considered
ancillary, such as bookkeeping, tax reporting, and possibly marketing.
Outsourcing provides an opportunity for the small business owner to displace
those tasks that are not his trade or passion. |

Course Description:
In Davenport a registered Architect has placed a single certification on a
standardized architectural construction document sheet which is part of a
technical submission package; none of the accompanying main sheets are
certified and none indicate the name of the architectural firm. In Cedar
Rapids, an Engineer has submitted a set of building engineering plans to
local authorities for approval; he is the only indicated licensed design
professional. The set contains numerous, uncertified sheets of major
architectural design details. In Sioux City, a Landscape Architect's sealed
subdivision plans include the design and layout of a community sewage
treatment facility. These examples of sealing and certifying improprieties,
while the exception rather than the rule, nevertheless occasionally occur
throughout the State. While many times these types of mistakes are unrelated
to the accuracy of the technical content contained within the documents, they
may potentially cause problems. |

PDH Course Description: Every steel structure is usually assembled by connecting the individual components to each other with rivets or bolts or by welding. The structural bolts have replaced the rivets as an accepted means of connecting members in the last few decades. This course will review the basic concepts of design of bolts in shear/bearing type connections, based on the criteria specified in the latest edition of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Manual of Steel Construction, Load and Resistance Factor Design, Third Edition, November, 2001, (herein referred as LRFD). The topics included are: general requirements for bolted joints, including the different types of structural bolts (high-strength and common bolts), layout of bolted connections, proper specification of joint type, design shear and bearing strength, and modes of failures of the connected parts. Bolts in tension (or tension with shear), slip resistance joints, and eccentric loaded connections are not in the scope of this course. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials. |

Course Description:
The most important single characteristic of a beam is its strength. The two
most important quantities that must be considered in the design of beams are vertical
shear and bending moment. In the design of reinforced concrete beams for the
limit state of failure several factors need to be reconciled since these
beams are neither homogeneous nor elastic at the ultimate load. |

PDH
Course Description:
In addition to meeting flexural requirements, beams must be safe against
premature failure due to diagonal tension in the concrete as a result of
shear and longitudinal flexural stress. Tension stresses are of particularly
concern in view of the low tensile strength of concrete. These tension
stresses are not only limited to the horizontal bending stresses which are
caused by bending alone. Tension stresses of various inclinations and
magnitudes, resulting from shear alone (at the neutral axis) or from combined
action of shear and bending, are present in all parts of a beam and can
affect its integrity if not adequately provided for. |

|
PDH Course Description: Many steel structures require connections that can develop moment because the beams are parts of a rigid frame. Beams that are part of the wind-bracing system of multi-story building must resist end moments resulting from both wind, seismic, and gravity loads. In the usual case, the moment capacity of the connection in such frames depends upon tension and /or shear developed in the fasteners or welds. This 4-hour course will review the basic concepts of the design of fully restrained moment connections (refer as FR moment connection in this course), based on the criteria specified in part 12 of the latest edition of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Manual of Steel Construction, Load and Resistance Factor Design, Third Edition, November, 2001, (herein referred as LRFD). The topics included are: general requirements for moment connections, including the effect of the moment connections on the flanges and web of the columns, prying forces in moment-resistant connections, welding considerations for FR moment connections, flange-plated FR moment connections, and directly welded flanges. Design of FR moment connections for HSS and steel pipe, extended end-plate moment connections, FR moment splices, and moment connections to column-web supports are not in the scope of this course. For FR moment connections that are part of a seismic-force-resisting system in which the seismic response factor R is greater than 3, refer to the Seismic Provisions, which are available from AISC at www.aisc.org. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

Reinforced concrete is a very versatile and durable building material. Reinforced
concrete efficiently combines the best properties of concrete and reinforcing
steel into a strong structural element. In addition, the high alkalinity of
concrete helps to protect the embedded steel from corrosion. However, due to
the porosity of concrete, its use in exterior environments and tendency to be
exposed to deleterious chemicals, this material can easily be subjected to
deterioration. |

Course Description:
This two-hour online course discusses the different types of metal
deterioration that can occur in structures and buildings. It is important to
have an understanding of the potential for the deterioration of metals so
that proper precautions can be taken during the design and detailing of the
metal components of a facility. This course will enable a design professional
to avoid situations that provide the most potential for the deterioration of
metals and the subsequent corrosion of an otherwise usable structure or
building component. |
