Hey does anyone have a link to the downloadable problems from learncivilengineering.com? I printed them out a while back, but now can't find the electronic version. I couldn't successfully navigate to them from the site either. Thanks.

I got mine in the mail today. Funny they changed the font. The names are no longer written in Old english. Perhaps it was just too gangsta! :eyebrows:

It appears that the CA board will in the future start offering Seismic and Surveying Computer Based Testing year round. That means no more waiting for the test cycle of April or October. I responded to one of their inquires as a volunteer. I'm not sure if I really want to take seismic again...

Looks like it is a new method that we will now be able to check results online instead of waiting for the mail. I just got this email. "John Doe (alias), Identification Number: XXXXX You will receive your exam results via email with an attached PASSWORD PROTECTED document within the next 24...

Hi guys and gals, There is a possibility that I may relocate to Texas due to my company moving. I am trying to get a grasp on how the licensure works there as well as comity applications. Currently, I am licensed in California as both a Mechanical and an Electrical Engineer (here we have to...

I'm having some trouble understanding the solution to this problem completely! Can anyone kindly walk me through it? The problem reads For the region shown, The following parameters apply. (y,x) coordinate of A (1675.24, 2546.09) (y,x) coordinate of B (1294.39, 2870.06) azimuth of AP...

Hey guys and gals I'm having trouble distinguishing what a deflection angel is. My understanding is that the deflection angle is supposed to be half the intersection angel: α =I/2. However, in the example below what they are referring to as the deflection angel appears to be I. Why is...

Hey guys and gals, I'm in California and I work for a EPC firm. I went to a city back check meeting today. The project is mostly electrical and involves building solar support canopies and mounting solar panels on them, ect. My role in this project is I'm doing all of the electrical design...

Hi guys and gals, T minus 10 days for my exam. I'm pretty much done studying. I read the Hiner book twice and have done the problems several times. I grasp everything except LRFD/SD vs ASD. Can someone provide me a layman's way of understanding this as they relate to the IBC? From my...

So both Sa and Cs are plotted against period (T). The graps look very similar (except for very small period and Cs incorporates R and Ie). I undestand Cs is used to find base shear. However, what is Sa used for at all? I understand it is the "elastic" response coefficient, but I haven't run...

Can someone help clarify/confirmed how to use the relative rigity tables in the Hiner book? I obviously see there is only one input variable in the equation (H/D). What isn't clear is the top the rows and columns. I suspect that I'm supposed to add the H/D' from the row header and the column...

Does anyone know which states (if any) besides California have state specific exams that must be taken prior to licensure as a Civil Engineer? I am licensed in mechanical and electrical already and have also passed the 8 hour civil exam. However, when I try explaining to my collegues or boss...

Hi guys and gals, I will be taking both Seismic/Survey exams for the first time in April. I think I am set with the study materials( I got the Hiner book for seismic and one some other book for for survey.) I consider myself to be an expert NCEES test taker (Took and passed the FE...

It looks like NCEES updated their page under "myNCEESAccount". It looks very different now their new "dash board". Previous exam results letters are no longer visible it just says "passed". What's that all about?

I have the construction depth sample exam from 2011 and have a question regarding sample problem #532. I've looked this over and over and the solution doesn't make sense to me. The question is what is the load applied on floor #7 immediately after the step in question. They give some load...

When does this open? I was trying to register for some exams and it says that it has not opened! Deadline for california registration is decmeber 5th. They sure are waiting until the last moment!

My undergrad degree is in mechanical. I have a masters in general engineering. As of last week I'm a licensed PE in both Mechanical and Electrical (passed each on the first try). I want to do Civil next but don't know what depth topic to take. My work experience has been in construction of...

In Califonia we don't have a continuing education requirement. I have an NCEES record and loking to become licensed as needed in additional states. I've noticed that some have said requirement. My question is how rigorous is it? Also, can you "double dip" and count the same education for...
