I have access to the 2012 SEAOC Seismic Design Manuals through my office. I was wondering if anyone can attest to whether or not it is worth purchasing the updated 2015 versions of the manuals. The 2012 are based on ASCE 7-10 and so are the 2015. Also, does anyone know if purchasing Volume 5 is going to be helpful for the exam? This deals with seismically isolated buildings and external dampening. I did not see anything in the exam standards that would elude to needing to study this but I figured I would ask.Thanks! Cheers! </blockquote>
