The NCEES solution is valid, but over complicated. To solve this simply use the parabolic form for vertical curves: y = (R/2)x^2 + g1x + y0 where x is the horizontal distance from BVC in stations, R is the rate of change in grade, g1 is the grade entering the curve, y0 is the elevation of the...

If that's true than are the Highway Capacity Manual worksheets for the Transpo a no-no as far as filling them in to calculate transpo-related problems?

My dear fellow examinees, I must admit I am disappointed by the news about having to wait even longer for our results. Indeed, the past ten months of my life have been consumed with the PE.....studying, studying, studying, then taking the exam, and now waiting, waiting, and waiting. In my...

So am I correct in assuming (judging from the thread content) that is not allowed to write on things you bring such as nomographs, Highway Capacity Manual Worksheets, etc. during the exam. For some reason I thought this was allowed in California.

Hello all, I have been studying with the 2008 Sample Questions for Civil by NCEES. I am looking to buy/trade a copy of the 2000 edition. Have various study items and reference material (taking the transportation depth). Anyone interested?

I've been pondering that same question myself. Judging from the AM structural questions offered in the NCEES publication vs. the structural depth I would say no, you don't need them. But then again I would hate to get surprised at exam time. Can anyone else shed light on this matter?

You can post the whole problem and here it is: A proposed storm sewer will have a slope of 0.20%. The design flow for the line has been determined to be 16 cfs. Assume steady, uniform flow and a Manning's roughness coefficient of 0.012 that is constant for all depths of flow. The minimum...

For that distributed force I used 11.67 kips (got this from length of inclined section compliments of Pythagorus) mulitplied by the distance (16 ft) from Point B.
