I know this post is a little old, but I recommend getting the Seismic Design Review Manual from Brightwood Engineering. It's based on IBC 2009, so some codes are outdated so be careful (maybe there is a newer version out there now). I went through this pretty thoroughly for the SE Lateral exam. I used the Structural Engineering Reference Manual from PPI pretty thoroughly as well. There were my go to's to help me proceed through different material codes and such. As i went through these two books, I read the relevant code sections, made notes in the codes, and added tabs. Definitely recommend both of them!
