Haven't heard of joists in particular but I know the pipe and tube suppliers are sounding alarms that there could be a major shortage soon as there is a coil shortage. Big mill increases in the last few months because of this.

Does anyone have any information on when (what KL/r) you could realistically expect a short column to yield in compression instead of buckle. In the AISC 360-16 code as KL/r goes to zero, Fe will go to infinity, and the Fcr term will go to Fy. Obviously you could solve for the Euler buckling...

Thanks everybody for the pro tips. I have previously mentioned that I ran out of time on the last problem and wrote "Ran out of time" on 2 of the parts and still got an "A" on that problem, and that is mainly why I am asking this question. It seems like I had used an average of about 1 hour 10...

Well I registered for the April SE Exam (Passed vertical on first time, this will be the second time for lateral). One thing that kind of smacked me in the face last time was that I didn't really go in with a strategy for the PM portion. For the AM portion I went by topic. For the PM portion I...

Thanks Andy. Another possibility, regarding your second point, is that they may have changed the way they asked about income? I will try to contact them and maybe they will have a comment.

I was going through the SE3 surveys and found something interesting. In the 2016 Pay Survey being a sole practitioner was found to be correlated with +42k in pay from the base pay for men and -7k from the base pay for women in the model. In the 2018 SE3 Survey a model was created based off the...

Passed Vertical, Failed Lateral (21/40, A/A/A/IR). I knew I was going to fail Lateral but that is not the result I was expecting. I got Acceptable on the problem where I literally wrote "Ran Out of Time" for 2 of the parts. What the heck????

This waiting for each individual state to do their thing is bringing back election night anxiety. EDIT: Arizona clearly learned their lesson.

+1 more in UT.

I have so much work to do, and now I am going to be F5'ing all day.

Yeah for what it's worth I never trust the chat on NCEES because 2 years ago I asked if the PE results were coming out that day. The chat said no. And then the results came out 15 minutes later.....

Great video. Irony of ironies though is that my former graduate advisor is sitting in the front row of that presentation and he has a tech startup (re: Isogeometric Analysis) that is projected to be the next tech unicorn (startup with a valuation over a billion...

I used to work for a full service firm. Now I work for an undisclosed BRB manufacturer which would fall into your more specialized category. I feel like I do more structural engineering work than one would anticipate (IE review engineers RAM/ETABS/RISA models, provide feedback about the BRBF...

I plan on not even checking NCEES (its much more entertaining around this time to monitor this forum rather than NCEES). So just promise me everyone will freak out when the results come out. THEN I will go and check.

I was super anxious waiting for the PE exam results. I have tried to block from my memory that I even took the SE so I haven't even been that nervous. I know I bombed the lateral, I just hope I passed the vertical

Best of luck NALI on the PE Exam! Hope you are able to find a study group. This forum is for the SE Exam (or PE Structural as TDW pointed out). You may have better luck finding a study group for the PE exam on its corresponding forum (https://engineerboards.com/forum/38-structural/). Hope that...

At 4:30 this morning while I was trying to get a baby back to sleep I thought to myself "Hey, its already been a week, only like 6-7 weeks to go."
