Thank you very much for a quick and definitive response!

There must be a very simple answer but I just cant find a definitive explanation. In a couple of examples I saw when they're calculating the total dead load of the structure they divide the wall up to the parapet by 2. The parapet is not divided by 2. Why is this? 50% for openings? (it...

I think you should, it's a fairly simple concept and is needed for a lot of analysis questions.

I guess I'll just buy this, I hope it's good. How about a review lucky1?

I was a bit overwhelmed by it too but only because I decided not to spend too much time on it.

The environmental stuff is a big jumbled mess for me. Can anybody recommend something better than the CERM for it?

thanks

What would you recommend for studying the BASIC bridge stuff? I'm talking about spending no more than 4 hours on it.

Did you end up getting the Structural Depth Reference Manual? Did it help?

I was actually pondering that quote myself as I was always taught to "watch my units"..

I got the TI36X-Pro thinking it would at least be comparable to the TI-89 (which is not allowed for the PE) In college I used a TI-89 What a beautiful piece of equipment that was, I strongly believe that I passed all the math and physics courses and the FE because of it. The TI36X-Pro is...

I'm taking the structural depth in October and a little worried as I MOSTLY do steel at work, a little timber and very little concrete. Masonry I just pick out of a chart that was made here at the office by my boss... Hopefully I can study enough to pass.

Hi, why did you reference those years specifically? Do they update every year or are those years the 2 previous updates? -Stan

All I know is I would completely burn out if I studied from 9am to 2am.... I'm trying to put in 4-5 hours a day after work and already feel blind, thanks for the inspiration though!

Thanks, seems to be a helpful site overall

I'm way below the 50 posts requirement (just started studying for the October exam) but count me in if possible.

Thanks.... nothing is easy in this life huh? I was hoping for a maximum of 3 different ones, heh.

Hey guys. So I work for a dynosaur and we don't use computer software for analysis/design. I figured its time for me to learn the current standards. What is the mainstream/standard software being used in the industry right now?

So the 2012 exams ask for IBC 2009, AISC 13th and PCI 6th As most of you know, newer standards are now available (IBC 2012, AISC 14th and PCI 7th) I'm starting to study for the exam and currently don't have any of those and wondering which I should get. The latest codesor the ones required on...

Thanks for the input guys... this brings up another question, which I will start a new thread for in the Structural section of the exam, but I will also ask it here: Should I get the latest available design standards (IBC 2012, AISC 14th and PCI 7th) even though the exam asks for IBC 2009, AISC...
