I have the NCEES Principles and Practice of Engineering PE Civil Sample Questions & Solutions book for sale for $50 plus $5 shipping. It's used, but in good shape with no markings.

Is there a standard allowable bearing capacity rule of thumb for each type of soil? I was working on a problem where only the soil type was given, I could not find a table in the CERM that gives you this? OSHA has some ranges, but I was not sure exactly what to use..

I have printed off Section 2 and 6 of the MUTCD (a few hundred pages). Has anyone tabbed more important sections or tables where questions are likely to be pulled from? I could 'eventually' find an answer, but there is no way I could work my way through that thing in less than say 8-10 min..

I am starting to look over Engr Econ. I found the Solution to the one Engr Econ question in the NCEES manual to not be very thorough... Basically because I have had some econ and accounting course work in college, but not 'engr econ'. I am having problems working my way through the equations and...

This comes from a construction PDF I downloaded from a previous post. The problem involves calculating production of a piece of equipment (by use of volume of excavation required). I found the correct perimeter, however I suppose where I am missing it is how the 'layback' of excavation when...

I started working through the Lindeberg practice problems book. Are these all AM questions or are they a mixture of AM and PM? Under the transpo section for example, there are questions on projectile motion, momentum and basic physics type equations. Does anyone know of problems this basic arise...

I just started looking at some of the Lindeburg Practice Problems out of the 'Companion Guide'. Can anyone verify the difficulty of these questions is equal to the exam. Also, is it safe to assume these questions cover AM & PM? They aren't broken out in either, however based on the...

Can Anybody hit some highlights for the WR/Enviro AM section? there is a LOT on the topic list for the WR portion. I am not doing the depth and have very limited background. I dont want to spend too much time and jepordize a topic that I have a chance of doing well on. I am assuming that I...

I notice on note # 1 of the NCEES outline a comment on engineering economics. Is this something that would typically show up in the PM and take the shape of a equipment cost type question? Or is it more geared for an AM type question? The second part of that is if the review in the CERM is...

Is concrete mix design something that is common to show up on the PM construction section? I am thinking proportions, etc. Also does anyone have any good sample questions on concrete for the PM. I have the Portland Cement Concrete Mix Deisgn book. I just need to brush up on it.. Thanks, Mike

I am taking the Civil-Construction PM October exam. I was wondering how difficult the AM section of structural was? From looking at the NCEES manual, it looks pretty general. Concepts, reactions, etc. The CERM has a HUGE section devoted to structural and there is an infinite number of subtopics...

I printed off a copy of section 6 of the MUTCD, however I have skimmed through it and could not find the answer to this question. Problem: According to the MUTCD, ground-mounted signs installed at the side of the road in business, commercial and residential districts where pedestrian movement...

I have seen some topics on Scheduling, CPM/Network diagrams, however I have not found a reference that lays out all of the 'definitions'. such as: Total Float, Free Float, equations to make the various calculations, etc. I thought seeing the relationships in equation form would help me pull the...

Problem: You excavate 207 BCY of soil from the south end of your project site and stockpile at the north end (flat end) of the site to be used later. If the angle of repose for the stockpiled soil is 36 degrees, the maximum height of the stock piled soile is most nearly: A). 5 ft B). 14 ft...

I was wondering if anyone else is buying ASCE 37-02, ACI 347, ACI 318 and MUTD. I have already spent God knows how much on Lindenburg, Ruwan and OSHA, amongst a few others. I dont have a blank check here to write to the board for all these. However at the same time, I dont want to wish I had...

I am taking the Civil-Construction PE Exam Spring 2009... I had never heard of the Kaplan Books.. I was planning on buying the reference manual, study guide from "the other board". http://www.ppi2pass.com/"the other board"/PPIShop I was under the impression that it was the "standard" for PE...
