55k is nothing. Drafters at my firm make 57k-60k a year.

Looks like the Nebraska Board of Engineers and Architects meets tomorrow. I presume they will go over the results and allow NCEES to release results and send out letters.

Nevermind, I can't read dates. Gluck Njmike.

Oh no. Are you referring to your second attempt or this one?

Just got into the exam history for Nebraska. Still says Scheduled.

Feel like i'm being trolled.

Yep. It's all about the $$$.

Tell that to the Structural guys who took the SE Vertical and SE Lateral on consecutive days. :)

I have a hunch that the reason it takes so long is because there is a predetermined number of billable hours the "test experts" are contracted to spend reviewing the test. Regardless of complexity of the test statistics, the test experts that are subcontracted out will use all of their billable...

I would like to be entered. Thx.

Yeah, it won't let me reply in that vendor forum at all, what gives?

Thread is closed? I cannot reply :/

Kind of what I was thinking. Do you know off hand if this is covered in NDS?

Oh, I see the bolts you are referring to now. Interesting. My only thought is maybe they are fastened down tight to induce compression into the ends of the chord members. Not sure how off hand that strengthens the wood but maybe that has something to do with it.

Which "perpendicular" bolts are you referring to? I'm confused. You showed two different pictures of two different locations. That's a truss right? I imagine all the bolts are working to resolve the chord forces. Not convinced that the lack of symmetry will play a significant role in...

Late response, but there was a question in the sample ncees structural breadth that was similar in nature in which I disagree with the solution. When you resolve your moment into the shaft, the moment arm is the distance from the force to the neutral axis of the shaft. You then take P/A +/-...

I do not know for certain but I highly doubt they have changed. Google ACI 318-08 changes. I assume most changes are minor in nature. The main elements of design rarely ever change. One exception being ASCE 7-05 to ASCE 7-10 Wind & Seismic. This was a major change that has the...

Here's my take: If your current job responsibilities do not change once you get your PE, then your boss's reasoning for giving you a meager raise will be that you are basically more expensive for the same level of production. Or budgets are harder to stay within if you are now billing out at a...

Me too, but dneva lives in LA

I would have gone to the beach on a Friday off from work.
