I have a horizontal crack in one of my basement walls. The crack is about 2/3 up from the slab in a mortar joint. The wall is CMU block. The crack is about 30 ft long. The inward deflection is minor (maybe ½ inch over the 8ft high wall) but it is obviously something that I would want to address...
Used this study material and references to pass the April 2010 Civil (construction) PE exam.
Several basic references helped with the level of difficulty problems from the morning section. (Example – Civil discipline specific FE/EIT review and the older Schaum’s outlines)
Very low starting bid...

Can anybody recommend a good PE civil practice test?
I have already completed the following:
2000 NCEES
2008 NCEES
PPI practice exam
Kaplan practice exam
Can anybody recommend which sections of the construction references should be tabbed and/or highlighted?
I am going through them now and tabbing sections that I have used while solving practice problems, any additional insight would be appreciated.

I might be over thinking this simple concept, but I would like for it to be automatic come test time.
Below are the equations that I have come up with for BCY, LCY, and CCY while working example problems
Do these look correct? Any changes or other suggestions?
BCY = bank cubic yards
LCY =...
I am not taking the structural afternoon section and I have to admit this is not one of my strong subjects. I am mostly going after the “low hanging fruit” in the AM section.
That being said: CERM p50-3 gives two different equations for concrete beam factored loads. ACI 318 9.2 (U = 1.2D +...
I probably should have been more clear in my post. I was looking to PURCHASE the original (not copied or scanned) material. But at this point I am probably not going to take the course. I am looking into other review material.
Can anybody recommend a good concrete reference book? Ideally it would be a practical (not allot of theory) book that incorporates most of the applicable data from the ACI references. Some straight forward practice problems would also be helpful.
Trying not to buy a bunch of ACI books other...
I am also interested in obtaining the Testmaster PE Civil notes. I plan on taking the course this Spring and want to get a head start on studying. Please send me an email at [email protected]
Don't know if I can post the whole problem because it might violate a copyright law, but if somebody who owns the sample test could take a look at the problem/solution and see what they think.
