Thank you engineergirl for keeping us up to date on the status of the results. Is there any chance that some people have yet to be entered? If not, I will be enjoying your updates following the April exam.

Yes, very much.

I guess they have added the new comity licenses, they next new PE number is 36158. sqsmith2 beat me to it.

[12(7.625^3 x 5.125^3)]/12 = 308.7 7.625" is the overall depth of the masonry wall, 5.125" is the distance between the face shells. It's the equation to calculate Ix for equal rectangles. It is can be found in the 2005 AISC. Hope this helps.
