    Day in the life of a geotechnical engineer?

    You hit the nail on the head. I'm a coastal engineer and coastal work has "hit a wall" so to speak. It is also a very small and tight knit community of engineers. Everybody knows everybody. In Florida anyways.

    morning session chapters in Lindberg

I don't have the CERM in front of me but I believe it is section 46 Structural Analysis I of the 11th edition. It should give you the run down on different types of...

    Help with problem 511

    Probably the best advice I have seen on this forum. It seems like people often times get caught up in "solving the problem" rather than just obtaining the correct answer by process of elimination. Doesn't matter how you get to the right answer on the test (aside from cheating of course), it...

    We are still working on the user interface that would allow access to our database of problems, as well as, building our database of problems. We decided to go down a path that will take a little bit longer to develop but in the end it will be a better product. Stay tuned.
