I have been monitoring the ILDFPR licensing website to see how many new SE licenses were issued after the October exam. Only 12 new licenses were added. Assuming there were around 100 people who took the exam that is a shockingly low passing percentage.

This still doesn't explain why they haven't sent out the "hard copy" results via snail mail. Supposedly CTS had the results from NCEES several days ago. In fact NCEES claims that they released the results December 16th. Is this one single person the only one who controls all test results being...

Still waiting on IL SE results....here is the latest response (excuse): The grades are not posted at all yet. The general manager, who is in charge of the grade upload, is currently out of the office on an emergency medical leave. I am not sure when he will be back in. We are hoping it will be...

Yesterday afternoon (12-27-2011)

here is an email that CTS sent to me as a reply: Grades have not been applied at all yet due to unforeseen circumstances. I hope they will be applied to our system soon and will be mailed immediately afterward. I am hoping they will be up by next week some time. Sorry about the delay.

Just speculation...Who actually knows. NCEES has no transperacy and is accountable to no one.

In my humble opinion, it is ok for you to keep the 4th edition. Nothing major has changed that will affect the morning questions.

Still no idea on my IL SE exam results. NCEES, CTS, and ILDFPR all give me different information. I think it is a conspiracy!

This morning I emailed Continental Testing Services (CTS) about Illinois SE exam results and they responded saying the results were not in yet....

I get a $1.50/hr raise for getting my license. A buddy of mine got a handshake and was told it was a benefit for his career (by his boss). At my company, they are able to increase their allowable work load based on the number of licensed professionals employed. So there is an obvious benefit to...

I would be glad to scan and post the exact AASHTO references, but that is probably a copyright violation.

AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 5th edition Chapter 4 deals with distribution factors for grid decks with stringers

AASHTO just changed terminology and the way it is computed. AASHTO Std. Specs used a different formula that was dependent upon the span length. LRFD uses 1.33.

In MDX it allows you to create your own live load pattern. You simply use the model given in AREMA. I have a Mathcad sheet that performs all of the stress checks with the loads from MDX output. Most RR bridges are simple spans so they aren't that difficult to analyze. If you are analyzing...

Congratulations on the new contract. My company does a lot of that type of work. Here is a good book for a design reference: http://www.amazon.com/Design-Modern-Steel-Railway-Bridges/dp/1420082175/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323312396&sr=8-1 Inspections differ between RR company. Here are...

I will be taking it in Illinois....worried about seismic, not very many comprehensive examples out there for bridges that use current specifications.

Anyone have the following standards for sale or loan: ACI 530/530.1-05 AISC Seismic Design Manual 2006 AISI 2001, with 2004 supplements My email is: [email protected] Thanks
