I was left only with Seismic Exam and i found myself in the database...

PASSED!!! Thanks a lot to the forum for keeping everyone informed... I was only left with seismic Congratulations to everyone who passed and Good Luck to all taking exam in October '11 :party-smiley-048:

You are absolutely right my friend ...Your calculations make sense. I do not know why Hiner solution considers an additional 65 feet (140-75) of wall weight for N-S Diapghram force when that wall does not exist? I guess same goes for E-W direction with 20 feet of additional weight is applied to...

Only the walls perpendicular to the direction of seismic force contribute to the weight. In N-S direction, there are just two walls on the E-W direction whose weight will be considered. Same applies to the Problem 9.13 Hope that helps ...Did not understand your question abt Chapter 5 can you...

this is probelm #20 in Hiner New workbook based on 2009 IBC

Actually there is.....Page 2-39 of Hiner notes second line from the bottom of the page drag force of 3,050 lbs is calculated for Wall 1A based on the relative rigidity and also on page 2-40 for Wall 1B the relative rigidity is used to calculate 12,350 lbs of drag force. These values are used...

Thank you for your quick reply. The solution also uses the relative rigidities for caculcation of drag force in E-W direction. The relative rigidities for N-S walls are not used in the draf foce calculation. I understand that the N-S direction is much easier to see since the drag force would...

Dear ALL, I would appreciate any help with the Problem 16 of Hiner Notes as follows: In E-W Direction: Part 4: Calculate Shear Force to Walls 1A and 1B The solution shows that the force is distributed to the wall relative to their respective ridgidities (H/D). The equation used is also in...

i see your point but typically if you score over 56/80 you have more than likely passed the exam and this statement is held true by most people. you can determine how many questions you have answered correctly. Anyhow I was just trying to share some information that someone did not pass the...

I actually believe this instead of all other crapy comments posted on my original post. All i am trying to do here is provide information not trying to blow anyone's theory.

Yes you can you moron. Apply a little math to your diagnostic report and you will find out

He was under Oath and took a lie detector test before providing the info. Must be your friend's friend who wants to believe he is lying

Go through Reza Mallahati workbook atleast TWICE workout all the problems and take both practice exams...that did it for me if you live in SoCal, he offers one or two day review classes (maybe in other places too..you can google his name and find out about his classes). I studied a four days...

One of my friends failed the 8-hr by few points and did not receive any letter for the seismic/survey he lives in Alhambra CA ..Sorry but does not that kind of kill this theory?

i live in Claremont CA

Got result in mail today i had appeared for Seismic and Survey. Had passed 8 hour in April 2010. This time passed survey but failed seismic :-( i am really surprised as i thought I definitely nailed seismic but was not sure about survey well will see now in April 2011. :smileyballs:

Where do you live RobertR?

I am just waiting for survey n seismic No results in by Saturday so I guess its tomorrow...Best of Luck to everyone here in keeping us amused and informed...

Any idea on when CA will release the reuslts? The Board Website says "Early January". Did anyone receive any results? Is the State License look up tool updated

I personally don't think it will take 15 weeks. it never has in the past. The results will be in by end of Jan 2011 or by the first week of Feb 2011. Good luck to you hopefully you would not have to take it again
