Same Building probelm 450, another place. in sizing the area of footing, NCEES's solution assume 5'x5'square footing, with an eccentricity e=1', it gives the maximum soil bearing pressure fb: fb=2R/(4)(4.5), is it another mistake? To me it should be: fb=2R/(5)(4.5) if it is another...

ASCE7-05 already has this 0.01 weight for seismic, see page 129 equation 12.8-5: Cs shall not be less than Cs=0.01 (12.8-5)

In Building Problem 450, Design Data says the RoofLL (Snow) = 30psf, then in the solution, load combination should be either 1.2D+1.0E+0.5L (when take it as live load) or 1.2D+1.0E+0.2S (when take it as Snow load). Why in the NCEES's solution load combination uses 1.2D+1.0E+1.0L? I can't...

My office colleague passed this April SE-1 and his congratulation letter says his license will be valid to Dec.31, 2010. I would like to know if after Dec. 31, 2010, this SE-1 result will no longer valid. I am planning to take PE exam next April, if SE-1 result is only valid to Dec. 31, 2010...

I am curious to know, for those who passed SE-1, what is the initial license period in your Congratulation letter? which state are you in?

The most painful thing is you spent multiple years and tried multiple times and passed SE-1, then you spend another multiple years and tried multiple times to intend to pass SE-2, but until year 2011 you still can NOT PASS SE-2, Then all of your those years effort is wasted. You have to go all...
