This 6-hour online course reviews the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering and Design - Planning and Design of Navigation Locks Manual. It provides guidance and criteria for the planning, engineering layout, and design of navigation locks and appurtenant structures. These structures may include gatebay and lock walls, approach walls, sills, lock floors, miscellaneous walls, river training structures, galleries and cable trenches, lock wall accessories, control houses, visitor access, handicapped access, and administration and maintenance complexes.

This course presents a lot of detailed material, most of which does not lend itself to simple, multiple choice questions. The student is particularly encouraged to review the design plates in the final section for additional insights into lock design.

This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end. Much of this course is presented in PDF files, and you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader.
