How is the angle of internal friction related to the water content of the soil? And when we perform triaxial tests, the UU, CD, CU type tests, they are normally for saturated samples correct? or any moisture content is possible?

sorry i dont think i follow you.... is there a way you can check it online?

I took the PE exam in Oct 2013 and passed. They had only told us pass or fail, but they did not tell us how many correct and incorrect answers.. But I know I did very good in the exam.  Is it possible to learn this score? It would be good to know... If so from where? NCEES or the state board?

Many states also accept NCEES reciprocity. My question is, as for the 5 references they (NCEES) require, do they need to be the ones from the experience period we will show to them? because mine has been many years in the past and i am unable to get references now from the ones long time ago...

Can any FL candidates out there help me, how many years of experience must be shown to FL when transferring from other state? I checked and i think it is 4 years but please verify, and also for a candidate who takes exam for first time, in FL, it is 4 years too? That is what makes me confused...

lindenberg questinos are more in-depth than the actual exam in my opinion but it is helpful to understand the subject

First of all which version of this book you have? I have the one I bought about a year ago when studying for my exam 16 – why are you saying ultimate? The load is divided by area and compared against allowable capacity. So what is wrong here? Unless I am missing something 17-i am assuming when...

yes I agree, and after reading through the state engineering rules I came to that conclusion too. i will call my company "...... construction management" or just my last name etc... and no engineering word anywhere, and will not do engineering for now.... they dont even allow you to use the PE...

ok i will check with state boards in both states and also state business offices.. dont wanna do anything wrong here... so overall, if i dont do any engineering work whatsoever for now, until i transfer my license, and only do construction scheduilng and management, then it looks like i should...

currently my stamp is not at the state I am currently living. And it looks like it will take a while to transfer here, but i want to go ahead with setting up my own business. i will mostly do construction management, scheduling and engineering. My question is, if i setup an LLC here in the...

get your PE asap, working with a GC may delay this

i work somewhere full time (not as an employee but as a contractor) in construction planning. now that i passed my pe recently i decided to do construction consulting on the side from home which will involve scheduling and engineering and construction management topics, to the extent and on the...

no need to panic. whether you are well preapared or not. think of panicking as a temporary illness clouding your mind. all it does is harm you. no benefits. if you feel a question will take you long time, skip it in your first round. finish the ones that wouldnt take much time.

Das Boot :) ))) i would definitely study NCEES and 6 minute solutions and study from books like CERM, All in One, and DAS, while trying to solve these. the rest is up to you NAVFAC and Handbook for Geotech engineers are also good as a reference.

nevermind. i checked the NCEES site and verified.
