Hi, I am looking at the outline for the construction part of the exam, and was not clear about two of the topics noted in the NCEES specs:
Item I.A.3. of the NCEES specs; Site Layout and Control.
The CERM section covering this is chapter 80 'Construction Staking and Layout'.
This chapter mostly addressses the staking and grading techniques, and I did not see anything related to 'site layout and control'. Is there a reference to address this for the morning exam, or is the CERM sufficient on this topic?
Item I.E.1. of the NCEES specs; Construction Loads
The CERM section 49.16 covers lateral pressure of concrete on formwork.
Chapter 39 covers Excations; which is mostly bracing/ shoring loads on excavations
It seems there are other potential areas that could pop up, such as roof live load, construction loads per ASCE 37, etc.
What is a good reference to cover construction loads for the morning exam, or is the CERM sufficent on this topic as well?
