    Thanks for sharing the post!  I wrote PE Civil Structural. Compared to the other exams, those writing this exam probably had the most reference material to bring in. I was a bit caught off guard that there was a rule there "could not be any hand writing in your reference material". I...

    Weld symbols

    Table 8-2 from AISC 14th Edition is the primary reference. I do not see a situation where this would not cover a question related to a weld detail or symbol definition. Good luck!
