If anyone is interested, I have made a Facebook Group for posting questions and discussing the SE Exam. If you would like to join please post your email, here or in messages, and I will request anyone who would like to join. I had purchased the AEI Lateral (Buildings) course a year ago, but did...

The AISC Guide 4 seems to present examples and design guide based on seismic criteria. It states the first edition was more so for wind loads. Unfortunately, I can't find the first edition. If I understand correctly the approach for this design is based on the Moment Capacity of the beam and not...

Sept 3rd , Last day to sign up for SE exam in TX. Just sayin. 😎

How happy, comfortable were you with your first signed and sealed set of plans. I’m about to do mine and just not too happy with all the presentation of my set.

I used to dream about having graphing calculators with colored screens. Now they are here. That was for fun. Now, my eyes aren't what they used to and using my scientific calculator becomes tiring unless I have good lighting. I wish there was a scientific calculator with colored screen. Who...

So apparently PPI welcomes corrections to their manuals, but doesn't let you print out the erratas unless you buy their digital manuals. I guess being bought out by Kaplan changed this. Does anyone have errata for the Water Resources and Environmental Depth Reference Manual (Brant and Kauffman)...

For the longest time i have been frustrating with watching large PDF plans (24x36) on the computer. Ive added 32 gigs of ram and have an X99 6 core processor and 1 GTX 1080 video card. But still slow. I ran into PCIe hard drives for sbout 500$ and im wondering if it would help to view large...

So I've decided to skip the exam this friday. I have not had the time to dedicate for it and If I couldn't get it done when I did study I can't possibly think why I could get it done this time around. Does anyone know of any upcoming changes to the exam next year that I should consider before...

We are about 3 weeks away from the exam. I haven't been able to study this time due to work, but I'm calm. I've taken time before in my life to do just this, Study, and have been unsuccessful. However, when you have taken this exam a couple times you tend to remember questions that you knew...

So looking into analysis and design of joists, not working on selecting correct joist but actually designing joist, I run into the 2.5k joists. I understand the recommended substitutions for them, but I'm curious how they are installed. I always thought the function of these were to brace the...

So I find myself taking too much time finding the material I need. This is an example I have for my structural depth binder, any suggestions or how do you do it? 

So after doing some projects with structural steel I have decided to get into it a little more and go forward with an official steel shop. So far I have done open canopies and retail buildings up to 10000 sq. ft. I figure a 30' x 30'  will be a good start. I am planning on doing the structure ...

So i signed up for the 7 day trial of PPI Learning Hub. Its actually very nice and i subscribed to the 200/month option which includes CERM 16th edition on the web. I cancelled because i felt the questions required long solutions and are not comparative to the Exam, but i think having enough...
