Ahhh! Crisis averted. I have major case of "too much studying brain"... Just realized I needed to put the 35s into radians mode...hope I don't have such a brain fart on the test!

Hmm, my book is definitely using 3.11.6.2-1 though: DELTAph = 2p/pi (delta - sin(delta)cos(delta+2alpha)) literally plugging in the numbers from the answer into my calculator (HP35s) and I'm getting 0.517. Breaking it down... Step 1: 1.292 rad + 2 * 0.785 rad = 2.862 rad Step 2: cos(2.862...

I'm having trouble getting the answer to match on this one. I think it may have something to do with me missing a conversion somewhere, but I'm not sure. It's asking for a pressure due to uniformly distributed surcharge load, and I found the equation (AASHTO 3.11.6.2-1) and got all the same...

Ahhhhh, makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!

I was working through NCEES sample exam problem 603 and could not get the SERM table to give the same answers as the sample exam when calculating the "w" factor to find rho. After much frustration I pulled out the PCA notes and found the similar table (page 7-3 for those that have the book) and...

I'm taking to SE...thanks for the help. I guess I'll just have to bring as much of it as I can!

Hey everyone... I have absolutely no experience in bridges, i've spent my whole 7 year career working on buildings. Going through the sample NCEES test, I feel like I can work through most of the problems that don't reference AASHTO, and even some of the ones that do. The issue is, some of...

I would doubt they would. I don't know about the other SE states (WA, IL, HI...) but CA for sure you'll still need to take an additional test on top of the new NCEES SE test. So really, in CA, we're now forced to take even more test than was required previously. So...for all of those taking...

All that's left are the 2 CERM companions. I'll sell those both for 50 shipped.

I just finally found out I passed the CA PE, so I can finally sell my books. I bought all of the Brand New in Feb of this year, they have no marks, no bends, no nothing. The only thing some of the books have are tabs, all of which are high quality and easliy removed if you'd like to. I have...

I just got my letter yesterday in NY. On the other hand...I don't know if they do partial updates, but my name is now on the database online, so you could check there if you don't have your letter yet.

It's updated now. I just checked this morning...I got my letter yesterday.

I'm waiting...I just wanted to make sure and see what other people that know they passed would say. My letter is just taking extra long for me cause I'm in NY. I hope I get it Monday.

Database updated on the 1st...should this be accurate, cause if it is, sucks for me...

I saw it...I'm hoping it's not an error! I hate the new code. 2001 CBC is 10 times simpler. Anyone else know if this is correct or not?

I suggest you look in more detail. The differences in seismic design between CBC01 and CBC07 (ASCE7-05) are huge. Almost every single calculation is different. This includes overall base shear, elements of structures, non-building structures, etc. All of the catagories are different because...

Thanks for all the advice. I would tab the heck outta the thing but I'm not sure what to tab is the problem. Like I said before, I'm trying to maximize tiem studied for more important areas, for example, I'm assuming I don't need to know to do integrals and stuff like this. There just seems...
