Yeah I wouldn't think its common. I just think I had bad luck. Honestly I'm just doing the PPI Books and EET. I sent him an email on some questions from the PPI Six Minute Problems and its been more than 3 days and still no answer. Ultimately its just unprofessional. I'm surprised no one on the...

The professor was late to start the class today. He types "man, overslep a little". LOL. Come on man.... Im positive this guy know his ****, why not be organized and get us the lesson we paid for. Respectfully, this is ********* @PPI And flipping pages over and over again and saying hes trying...

But in every case, the critical section at column will control wont it?  In calculating the controlling terms for two way shear, which is 1.(2+(4/beta))    2. (2+ ((alpha*d)/bo)    3. 4  Do we ever use d2 at all? which is the depth of the slab + depth of drop panel. Is it solely used for...

Im a little confused on the use of d for calculating the punching shear for flat slabs @ columns. If we have a drop panel, what is the use of the extra drop assuming it is less or larger than the slab thickness? Is it to only find the required shear? How would the drop panel "d" be used for...

Well, saying a little more about that. It is obvious the instructor is qualified, but that being said, it is also evident he is not prepared to give the lesson. He is reviewing problems as he encounters the power points, while he figures the problems out well and has suggestions, it is...

Lol, in a nut shell, ill give you my opinion. The guy is winging it during the lessons, the professor that is, and errors all over the power points. I stopped attending this weekend, ill catch the videos during the week when i can forward all the parts when hes flipping pages making my speakers...

So I ordered the AASHTO 7th Edition PE/SE version of the Code. Gets here Wednesday. Bam, no excuses now!!  

Promotion Code for Purchasing from AASHTO Book Store. 

Are there any promotion codes available in ordering this reference? I see at checkout there is an option for promotion codes, I am not a member, and I was hoping maybe someone might have one. I will only be using this Reference for the PE exam. I have used EET notes in the past and not purchased...

Whats your sign to check for block shear? If you have a double channel connection with a gusset plate and the problem states gusset plate is sufficient and bolts (4- two columns and rows) are sufficient why not check Block shear? The solution only checks tension (yield and rupture). Do any of...

This is something definitely on your end regarding your computer. Adobe is going to be your best bet. I found Chrome works best for adobe connect as @matt267 PE stated, but Edge works as well. State your computer specs to see if anything sounds like it would need an update (OS).   Good luck! 

Wow, last night I skipped the mechanism design method of steel section and after finishing the composite and connection sections i decided to go back to review for the second time my EET Depth binder. What do you think of the stand alone Steel Design by Roland? I got 25 correct i. The afternoon...

The SDRM by PPI references AISC 360 and not as much the AISC Manual, why? I know they are basically parallel, but it makes me question whether the material referenced will show in the PE exam being the PE exam references AISC Manual. Yes  most of it is in the AISC Manual as well, but what are...

Well "give" as long as theyre originals yes. :-)  :P  @DrZoidberWoop gave out a pretty sweet review on structural that can prove very helpful.  Also my boss gave me his old study material from 2000 and aside from the environmental material i found problems in that version of the CERM were...

"Like" button! Where's the "LIKE" Button!!  :D

McGraw and Hill Publisher has confirmed there is no errata for the All in One Practice Exams. Just FYI if anyone is reading up on this. 

:oops:  and that would make it perfect to solve. Thanks for pointing that out!  :)

Ok, I very fast realized you were referring to problem 514 from the old NCEES Practice Exam, before 2015 version, and I have the 2015. Luckily I also have the previous version! :-) Someone from this forum was very kind to send me their copy for studying purposes.  (Thank you @joy21 ! ) Now, I...

I downloaded the NCEES Civil Structural Practice Exam Errata. For problem 509 there is no showing how they acquired the shear center of the L shape in order to solve the problem. This is in fact the KEY to solving this problem. Why wouldn't they show it? The original solution in the practice...

any one have Goswami All in One Practice Exam errata ? I know there has been  a lot of talk about the errata for the All in One Guide, but Im interested to know if there is one for the All in One Practice Exams? I have contacted McGraw and Hill about this but have had no answer from them. Any...
