    How do you calculate air volume in a concrete problem?

    Take a look at the two questions again, you'll see you're solving for two different things. In the first, you're looking for the unit weight. They are not calculating the air volume, but the total mix volume WITH air (I mean, in a sense they are calculating the air volume and adding it to the...

    WTB: Civil PE (Construction Depth codes/study materials)

    I missed this in my earlier reply - the NCEES practice exam book, in my opinion, is a great barometer of the types of material you'll see on the test. It's comprised of past test questions. Truthfully, I found them simple in comparison to what was on the exam itself, but overall it was a great...

    Scaffolding Help - Civil Construction Exam

    There's always this approach. Nothing wrong with throwing a dart. Especially on a topic where you might only get 1 question. If you put the focus on the morning and have a nice little bank of "free" wrong answers, I'd go this route as well. Or at least skip it until you complete the rest of...

    WTB: Civil PE (Construction Depth codes/study materials)

    Correct. The 211 section included in MNL is not the 211.1-91. I did not bring my own copy of 211.1-91. I took the EET review course and felt that they covered the proportioning topics pretty thoroughly. I just did those problems over, and over, and over, and over, and over, oh you guessed...

    WTB: Civil PE (Construction Depth codes/study materials)

    You're welcome. One other tip I can offer, is focus more on the higher # questions per the NCEES breakdown. That's where you'll set yourself up for success. Also, know what topics you are strong in and make sure to get EVERY one of those questions correct. You should shoot for a 30+ in the...

    WTB: Civil PE (Construction Depth codes/study materials)

    no problem - I mean I own them but I've lent them to a coworker who is also prepping for the April exam. To me - yes, if I'm ranking between the 4 you listed, my ranking would be: ACI MNL 15, SP4, ASCE, CMWB. Of course, I believe the two ACI are significantly more expensive than the other two...

    WTB: Civil PE (Construction Depth codes/study materials)

    I do not have these available but, based on my experience in October, ASCE 37-14 and CMWB were not useful/needed. I had 37-14 with me and did not have CMWB. There were probable 6-8 questions, maybe more, that came right out of ACI MNL-16. Personally, I would lean more towards getting the two...

    January 2021 Post Exam Wait Period - Welcome to the Suck

    This has to be a function of fewer examinees? OR perhaps they offered the same exam as October, therefore they already had a large enough pool of examinees to determine the cut score/competency on the exam. In would assume, those who jumped on the January train were ones that were planning for...

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    Agreed. I wonder if she has their initial statement "Vaccine not mandatory" in writing. Wonder if she can throw that at them as a counter argument. Although, it said it right in the article - she wasn't against receiving it. She just was not sure whether it was safe/recommended due to her...

    How do i determine if T-beam is prestressed?

    Is this an existing structure? Or new construction? My personal opinion, if it is an existing structure (ie, the cutting is a demolition operation), try to see if you can get asbuilt drawings from the time it was built. It may say explicitly that the beam is prestressed. If it's new...

    Hello all. I am a 4th time PE exam but I am still preparing myself to finally pass

    That was my game plan as well going in. At least, kill the morning and go into the PM a little more relaxed. I had every intention of answering every question but was prepared for a bloodbath of an exam as well and knew I'd have to adapt if needed. Obviously, I was prepared to "grind it out"...
