I have a project that I am working on. I was given the counts for a particular intersection, but for the life of me I cannot determine how the PHF of 0.92 was determined. I know it is the Peak hour volume/ Peak 15min vol. The most I got was 0.88 found by the following calculation: The peak...

I was notified today by the Board that the wall certificates and the PE Licenses will be mailed out early next week. Post when you start getting them and your general location. Multiple post from people in the same location (county/city in this case) is not necessary. Thanks!

Just got words that I finally passed the PE Civil-Transportation after the third try. Don't give up, if you took the exam before and good luck if it's your first try. I can tell you need the right reference materials to pass. You don't want to give up easy points that can be easily looked up in...

Passed, Civil-transportation.......Thank God! Third try

I was looking at these two figure in the RDG and was wondering how a question could be asked and ow to effectively answer the question correctly. I could not find a sample question for an example like this, so I made this one up and would like to know if this is even correct. Questions: Given...

I have solved several different geometry type problems using the Froude Number equations provided in CERM, but this question pops up in my head just now and I am freaking out, because of uncertainty (and also since the exam is drawing near). I just realized that I have not solved a problems; I...

If pedestrian volume are given for a north and a south approach for a particular road, where the volume is 10 peds/cycle in the NB direction and 30 peds/cycle in the SB approach. The way how the minimum pedestrian green time is found is NOT to sum both approaces first, but to use the higher...

Problem statemen: A curve with a bearing of back tangent of N70dE has a deflection angle from back tangent to forward tangent of 35d right. What is the bearing of the line from the PI to the origin (O)? I thought I did this problem correctly, but I was incorrect. The way how the solution is...

If I have a line at N43-degree,10-minutes W that meets another line at S15degree, 12 minutes W, would the intersecting angle calculated as 180 degree minus the sum of the two angles = 121degrees 43 minutes? I think I have this correct but sometime gets frustrated in the answer on these easy...

If I use values to plot on this chart and it's near the A-line (USCS method) and the A-line equation (PI= 0.73(LL-20) gives a PI value that is larger than the given PI I found from LL-PL, am I suppose to choose the soil that is below the A-line; Is the opposite true? For example: if PI=LL-PL=...

Is there a simple systematic way to solve these types of problems. I am fairly decent solving phase diagrams problems, but these burrow pit problems comes in many different varieties and sometimes hard to grasp what is needed to solve the question asked. For example, some questions asked for the...

I want to take their review class, but not sure if the workshop class is worth the large dollar they're charging. I understand that on Sundays you work problems, but I am not great working problems with others. i work best alone, so I don't know if it's worth the extra money. If you have taken...

I am looking for a nice estimating book to help me with construction problems, or some sample problems that's available with problems which involves estimating # of blocks or bricks required to build a wall, given its length, width and thickness. Could someone explain if this method is correct...
