Working for a structural firm, on a steel structural frame project, we have been asked to submit calculations for everything. Very specifically for footing and baseplate design. My boss got after me for saying “sure” when asked and has sent them an invoice for submission of the calcs. We have...

Not it Houston, its a 6 hour drive. Think about doing a Facebook Group with members approved by you and posting questions along with problems and images is very helpful. I will be taking the exam in October.  I have tons of study material and will not be taking a course. If you create the group...

@Coronagrey @Jmcc06 @youngmotivatedengineer IBC "1809.4 Depth and Width of footings. The minimum depth of footings below the undisturbed ground surface shall be 12 inches......The minimum width of footings shall be 12 inches." Im sure you guys have run into this, but wanted to post it...

Wouldnt you say that for the morning section of Civil PE has some questions that are from the Depth section of other disciplines just not requiring references? At one point i took the PE exam there were some economics questions that i could not relate to. I am taking it in October but im...

I didnt call to ask or appeal (TX), the rules state two courses of formal college or 1 more year experience. I took the courses. I applied and was approved in less than 2 weeks. .

Ive seen it in the show Meat Eater! Its BEAutiful!! But that's about it.  :D  I don't fly, so I don't think I will ever see it. :-( 

Theres engineering in Alaska?!?! :D

Thanks for the reply everyone! Much appreciated. I went ahead and used the members. I braced at 2 points, 3 equal spaces on the beam, and so therefore Kl/r is no longer greater than 200. However, It was freaking me out. 

So after much delay and debating, probably for 3 months, i have officially subscribed to Autodesk AEC collection. I had been meeting ends with others drafting services for submittals and with an old version of Risa3D (13) but no more. I will use Revit, Advanced steel for my submittals and shop...

Whats the priority check in this scenario with a concentrated load from joist to a welded angle on a W shapes web.  I checked yielding forbthe angle but im worried about the web of the I beam. Which i checked for web yielding and web crippling but i still feel im missing somethkng.  Thanks for...

Why would you forget something like that? 

@tomp So when u sign up in Ncees for the PE or SE exam you just  select the state of Oregon and their is no confirmation from the board. You are clear to take the exam at a site in the state? 

@vhab49_PEI've actually never considered ASCE courses as I took a few on Civil topics that were so outdated it made me angry. However, there are some good reviews out there on them and the courses I took are nothing like the PE refresher courses. I've scored best in the morning section when I...

I wanted to bring this topic up even though I know there is stuff out there in google that talk about it. For those who feel confident in this topic and would like to share their knowledge and practice, very much appreciated. So here I go.  If i have a beam (designed in flexure) yet my Kl/r is...

@David Connor, SE  Thank you for your comments. I appreciate you taking the time to put things in perspective. The link for the calendar is just the calendar with no schedules on it, however i have the calendar from your website, hopefully its the same one. I am definitely going to focus on the...

Thank you for your advice. I have  less than two weeks before I sit down and make it my routine again to study for the P.E/S.E. exam. However, the P.E. exam I will take under all circumstances. No way I let it beat me. And the S.E. I just really want to give it a shot. Your comment on "easier to...

That's the plan. By that I mean I will be applying to the Board with my updated experience. Assuming I get approved, which I should, that is definitely the plan. I know it sounds crazy. But I really think it can be done, and I've gone over the Breadth and Depth material for the PE so much I...

Howd the vertical go🤞?
