Hi,

Just to make sure, did NCEES removed PCI from the exam standards requirements?

Thanks.

 
Not that I know of but I did see a practice problem on the PPI 16 hour practice exam.

 
Didn't realize it, but according to the NCEES - SE Design Standards the PCI code has been removed effective April 2018 exam.  

In my opinion, they should remove cold-formed steel as well if they are only going to ask 1 question about it.

I couldn't agree more on the cold formed steel.  474 pages of a manual just for one problem.  It's ridiculous.  As if we don't have enough to read on.

 
Wait!, hows this NOT a big deal?!?!?  PCI should be offended. :-/ too much?? Ok. Uhhh rreally,  how can they remove this reference?

It was ridiculous to have 1 question for a manual that big (and expensive). Same with cold-formed steel. Should just be IBC, ASCE 7, AASHTO, Steel codes, Concrete codes, Wood codes, Masonry code.
