Purpose and Background

This presentation introduces the audience to the recently published ASCE Manual of Practice 156. It provides an overview of the contents of the manual:

• Navigation channel sedimentation issues
• Strategies and solutions to sedimentation problems in channels
• Available prediction methods
• Best practices for predicting navigation channel sedimentation responses.

A case study from the manual that illustrates sedimentation problems and approaches to identify solutions will also be discussed.

Learning Outcomes and Session Benefits

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Identify key navigation channel sedimentation issues outlined in the ASCE Manual of Practice 156.
• Describe various strategies and solutions proposed in the manual to address sedimentation problems in navigation channels.
• Evaluate the available prediction methods presented in the manual for forecasting navigation channel sedimentation.
• Apply best practices for predicting navigation channel sedimentation responses based on the insights provided in the manual.
• Analyze a case study from the manual to understand real-world sedimentation problems and the approaches used to identify solutions in navigation channels.

Assessment of Learning Outcomes
