FYI. I just noticed that NCEES recently made some minor changes to sections VIII (Geotechnical and Pavement) and IX (Drainage) of their Transportation Depth specifications outline. It seems that, more or less, the same subtopics are covered, they were just rearranged.

"Sections VIII and IX were condensed to ensure adequate coverage of the topics on the exam. No other changes were made to the Civil Transportation specifications."
New:
[SIZE=11.0pt]VIII. Geotechnical and Pavement (4 Probs) [/SIZE]
A. Sampling and testing (e.g., subgrade resilient modulus, CBR, R-Values, field tests)
B. Soil stabilization techniques, settlement and compaction, excavation, embankment, and mass balance
C. Design traffic analysis and pavement design procedures (e.g., flexible and rigid pavement)
D. Pavement evaluation and maintenance measures (e.g., skid, roughness, rehabilitation treatments)
[SIZE=11.0pt]IX. Drainage (2 Probs) [/SIZE]
A. Hydrology (e.g., Rational method, hydrographs, SCS/NRCS method), including runoff detention/retention/water quality mitigation measures
B. Hydraulics, including culvert and stormwater collection system design (e.g., inlet capacities, pipe flow, hydraulic energy dissipation), and open-channel flow
Old:
VIII. Geotechnical and Pavement (4 Probs)
A. Design traffic analysis (e.g., equivalent single-axle load [ESAL])
B. Sampling and testing (e.g., subgrade resilient modulus, CBR, R-Values, field tests)
C. Mechanistic design procedures (e.g., flexible and rigid pavement)
D. Pavement evaluation and maintenance measures (e.g., skid, roughness, structural capacity, rehabilitation treatments)
E. Settlement and compaction
F. Soil stabilization techniques
G. Excavation, embankment, and mass balance
IX. Drainage (2 Probs)
A. Hydrology (e.g., Rational method, hydrographs, SCS/NRCS method)
B. Culvert design, including hydraulic energy dissipation
C. Stormwater collection systems (e.g., inlet capacities, pipe flow)
D. Gutter flow
E. Open-channel flow
F. Runoff detention/retention/water quality mitigation measures
