Hello All,

I just started gathering my resources to start studying for the April Construction exam! Seems like there are quite a few codes/references to purchase! Will you please share some links / files for the resources listed on NCEES? I was able to find 2 so far...

ASCE 37 Design Loads on Structures During Construction, 2002, American Society of Civil Engineers, Reston, VA, www.asce.org.

NDS National Design Specification for Wood Construction, 2012, American Forest & Paper Association/American Wood Council, Washington, DC, www.awc.org.

ACI 318 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete, 2011, American Concrete Institute, Farmington Hills, MI, www.concrete.org.

ACI 347 Guide to Formwork for Concrete, 2004, American Concrete Institute, Farmington Hills, MI, www.concrete.org (in ACI SP-4, 7th edition appendix).

This board is not the place to share such things. I can say I came across all of the resources except for ACI, which I had access to through IHS at work, AISC, which I owned from college, and the NDS (the one on their site is locked down without paying) through creative google searches.

"Search string" filetype:pdf

 
I will also say that excepting AISC and ACI 318, all other references I printed and bound in a couple 3 ring binders.

 
Oh, and I didn't use them much for studying or the exam. Mostly I had them as a "just in case" for code specific questions that may not be on the exam. I passed first try, and felt extremely confident. Primarily I used CERM, school of PE notes, and my useful equations for the HP 33s/35s.
