Thank you everyone

If that is the case, I am doomed because it asked me to update my info for April 2012 exam.

Did anyone take civil/geotech? What was your score and scaled percentage? Thanks.

I am pretty good at foundations (deep or shallow) because that's what I do with most of my projects. When I saw my results (52/80), that really made me sick because I know I missed by one or two points. However, for October, I am gonna study like this will be the hardest of all. Thank you for...

I think I missed it by 1 point too, that initially made me sick because there was a look up question I missed. But I am gonna start studying like this is going to be a very hard exam. Good luck to both of us and we will kill it next time.

I just did. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for the info. This will help. I know I was close this time (52/80) and I plan to nail this sucker in fall. Starting to study from next week. This week I will gather all the references I don't have.

I failed my second attempt this April. I don't have a civil degree (but mechanical). I have been practicing geotech for last 7 years. Based on my both diagnostics, my weak sections are Earth Structure and Earth Retaining Structures. Since Geotech will have a new spec in Oct 11 and the Earth...

Would you like to sell some of the geotech books you mentioned, I need the following: Principles of Foundation Engineering, Das, 4th ed. • Geotechnical Engineering Calculations and Rules of Thumb, Rajapakse • Geotechnical Engineer’s Portable Handbook, Day • NAVFAC 7.1,2 & 3. The 1986...

52/80 Civil-Geotech......This was my second try and was pretty confident. It sucks to go through studying again but gotta do it. I will nail this thing next.

That is good to know. Did she say anything about results being posted on the NCEES website?

I spoke with Wanda at the Board and she mentioned that the results will be mailed out tomorrow. Good luck to everyone waiting.

Hockeyfan, I am taking the exam on April 2010 (geotech depth), I do not have civil engineering degree but have a mechanical degree. I have been working in geotech field for last five years. I am learning all the geotech topics myself and want to pass the exam to advance in geotech field. Your...

Thanks

I have been working as a staff geotech engineer for last 5 years. I have not used any geotech special softwares other than MS office and Autocad. I am sitting for my PE in spring 2010. I would like to learn useful geotech softwares to make myself more marketable. Any suggestions on what geotech...

It was a sewer service line. They used trench box to install the pipe. They removed the box once the pipe was in place. They backfilled the trench after removal of the trench box. It was all stone backfill, no dirt used.

It was 10' L by 5' W and side material, I assume, is limestone derived clay. The area is in busy traffic street. There was no fabric place between dense graded material and #57 stone. Settlement had occured previously and they came back and overlayed the whole street recently and all the...

I don't understand why #57 stone is self-compacting...what about the different sizes of stones and voids between them and self weight of the material. Does not that influence the settlement over a period of time. My understanding is settlement is minimal if it was consolidated in lifts as oppose...

Can anyone tell me how much # 57 stone settles over period of time? I am working on a project for a utility company. They had replaced some sewer service lines on a street about two years ago. The trenches were about 15 feet deep. They backfilled the trenches with # 57 stone below the base...
