PG Fire Protection Engineering ... of chemicals, flammable and combustible products and population densities have accentuated the complex fire problems. Such demands have created a need of constant research and development to come out with customized scientific solutions. In fact a specialized training based on latest theories in fire protection including various aspects pertaining to design, installation, commissioning and  more...

Design of Commercial Buildings to Mitigate Terrorist Attacks ...w buildings. This course specifically addresses four high-population, private-sector building types: commercial office, retail, multi-family residential, and light industrial, although many of the concepts presented are also applicable to other building types and/or existing buildings. The main focus of the material is explosive attacks, but the course does also address measures to protect  more...

Introduction to Accurate Water Demand Projection ...luence the future water demand for a community, including population growth, changes in demographics, the effectiveness of water conservation initiatives, new low-demand plumbing fixture technologies and increased leakage due to aging water distribution infrastructure. How does an engineer account for all of these factors to derive an accurate water demand projection? This course introduces  more...

Design of Small Water Systems - Water Quality Requirements ... serves a community (year-round residents) or a transient population (such as parks, campgrounds and restaurants). The MCLs are designed to protect the public from potential health effects of long-term exposure to contaminants, so they are generally not applicable to transient populations. Additionally, the EPA has developed National Secondary Drinking Water Regulations that are intended to  more...

Design of Small Water Systems - Water Quantity Requirements ...n many parts of the U.S. and throughout the world. As the population continues to grow, the problems will only increase. Thus, it is important to properly plan water use projects to ensure that the system is capable of meeting the users' demands for many years to come. In this course the student will review Chapter 4, "Water Quantity Requirements" of EM 1110-2-503, "Design of  more...

Design and Construction of Earth Dams ...bankment. The increased development and expansion of the population in the Nation's watersheds have created a definite need to develop additional water supply. In many areas the existing national infrastructure can not meet these needs. The increase in urban development has also had a negative impact on water quality. The public is asking that preservation of the environment be an equal  more...

Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control ...unoff can significantly affect receiving water's fish population and associated habitat. Alterations in hydraulic characteristics of streams receiving runoff include higher peak flow rates, increased frequency and duration of bankfull and subbankfull flows, increased occurrences of downstream flooding, and reduced baseflow levels. EPA recognizes that such alterations can be prevented by  more...

An Introduction to Sanitary Landfills ... of refuse, placement of landfills close to the center of population would be the most desirable situation for the designer. Adverse public sentiment and the cost and availability of land usually are the deciding factors for locating a landfill, which make transporting the refuse to a more advantageous location the preferred option for many authorities. New technologies that can produce a  more...

Applications of Wind Energy for Municipal Water Systems ...critical resource for thermoelectric power plants. Future population growth in the United States is therefore expected to heighten competition for water resources. Many parts of the United States with increasing water stresses also have significant wind energy resources. Wind power is the fastest-growing electric generation source in the United States and is decreasing in cost to be competitive  more...
