I used the notes quite a bit. I would say they were my primary reference for the morning portion. However, since I was very familiar with CERM as well, I did use it for a few questions where the SoPE notes were lacking. I also had a few college books that I brought along, just in case, and...

I got a 2,400 salary raise for a first professional license. Supposedly there is a freeze on promotions and raises at my company right now. We shall see in the coming months what happens....

1. I took the online weekends version of the class, and it worked well for me. It may seem like giving up 5 weekends is a big deal at first, but the classes helped me focus my studies. They also covered some topics that I had missed in my self-studies that I had done before starting the class...

The proctor demanded that I surrender my pencil to him when I was leaving the exam. I'm still bitter this morning.

You are correct that the roof is unobstructed, however, the roof material in the problem statement makes you use the solid line. I don't have the book in front of me, but if you read section 7.4, it states what is slippery and what is not. "Slippery surfaces shall include metal, slate, glass...

Why is the beam self-weight neglected when solving for the reactions? The problem assumptions state that the imposed dead load does not include the beam self-weight, so to me that means that it should be added. However, the solution in the back does not include the 90plf for the beam. Am I...
