Hey, SE II takered,
First thing, just to inform that there is errata for NCEES SE II on there website incase you want are looking for it. Specifically, for Building problem 450 they have done a complete revision. It should be perfect in second time, however, I don't agree on solution for part d of the problem. I would appreciate if someone preparing for this exam or others can verify it.
(i)They have calculated column load E =26.7 k (and my calculation shows 13.35 k unless it is a tension only brace).
(ii)On load combination, they have used 1.2D+f1L+E. my opinion is they should replace f1L by 0.2S because it is a roof and where L belongs to floor live load not roof live load.
Thanks.
