Does anyone have a starting template for a technical bid tab evaluation of vendor proposals? Generally for process equipment, tanks, pumps, etc. I can't find my old one and don't want to have to create one from scratch if there is a friend willing to help out. Thanks in advance :)

Right!! I have "sooo much" time now.

Thank you and I hope you get your result soon!! Having a family is great and it puts everything in a different perspective. I'd say it's smart to wait if you can, considering I haven't slept through a single night in over 4 years ?. They are my backbone though and I wouldn't have been motivated...

Thank you to all you guys who helped me figure out the tricky problems during studying. I passed the PE test. I really appreciate the help. I have 3 little kids under 4, including an infant, and I couldn't make it to a review course so I had to just do my best self studying. I am very grateful...

Seriously thank you so much! This is exactly what I have been searching for.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks that is helpful, I do have both references and was looking for that. I was looking also for weight of round bar (etc), do you know if that is included anywhere? I found a steel sizes & weights chart online that I printed but I'm wondering if you know if that's covered in these references?

For those of you taking Machine Design & Materials, what handbook are you bringing for fastener strengths? In one of the practice test problems, NCEES referenced the strength of a specific threaded rod and I was wondering what reference material you are bringing for these types of look-ups...

This problem is #529 in the 2011 practice test and they call out e=6in there and W=4500lb. So I think M=27,000 not 27.000. So I think I figured it out.

I have visited this problem multiple times and I understand everything, except I cannot figure out how they got e=6in (in solution). What am I missing? If the moment is 27 in-lb, why can't I just use that for M? (Other than it keeps giving me the wrong answer lol) Thanks!

Thank you! I am about to post a question on #121.

Thank you so much for the lead. Are you saying that the elastic deformation is the force of the spring acting on the bar? So as the bar expands, there is a force the spring is pushing back on the bar, thus reducing the compression of the spring? This is how I understand this and I just want to...

This problem appears in the 2011 version of NCEES Practice Exam as #520 and appears in the 2016 version as #112. It is about a steel bar expanding under a temperature increase. The bar is mounted against a spring, the system is horizontal. The system is mounted between two walls. It is asking...

I am also confused on 533 and got 1.57 (C) as my answer.
