I noticed there is an addendum to the Southern Pine reference design values of Table 4B in the NDS 2012 Supplement: http://www.awc.org/pdf/codes-standards/publications/updates-errata/AWC-NDS2012-Supplement-Addendum-1303.pdf. Anyone have any idea if we are responsible for these updated values or the ones in the original NDS 2012? There are quite a few values that have been changed.
I emailed NCEES about this, but their response was pretty vague:
"Bring any addenda that are available for the editions listed in the current PE Civil Structural design standards posted in the NCEES website.
All reference materials must be bound and remain bound during the exam. Refer to the NCEES Examinee Guide for more information: http://ncees.org/exams/examinee-guide/
Use the given data, assumptions, and codes (if any), and answer the question to the best of your ability.
During the exam, if you encounter an issue in terms of ambiguity or validity of the question, please provide to us feedback within 10 days from the date of the exam via your MyNCEES account. Provide sufficient information for reviewers to fully understand your concerns. NCEES reviews all examinee comments, and the subject-matter experts consider comments about specific exam questions. If the reviews confirm an error in a question, credit may be given for more than one answer. Any resulting changes are applied to all examinees."
Thoughts?
