Eratta for Highway Safety Manual

[baileyhewes]

Anyone notice the 2012 eratta AASHTO put out for the highway safety manual? There's a ton of equations in there that are wrong. I'm wondering if it is worth my time to go through and correct them all with a pen. That would be pretty low of NCEES to require one of those equations when using the one in the book will get you the wrong answer. Any thoughts on this?

There's 23 pages of this, and yes I spelled errata wrong.

Only a few of them apply to us for the exam however. Only the first 9 chapters are fair game per the NCEES outline.

Hit send too soon. The one I found on the HSM website is only a few pages, where did you find this one?

Never mind, found it in the HSM forum. Def glad you found this.

Note, the errata on the HSM homepage does not link to this updated document.

Thanks for pointing out that we only need to worry about the first 9 chapters! It definitely says volume 1 on the NCEES reference list, and volume one is just chapters 1-9. That's a lot less correcting to do, and 2 less books for me to bring.

Just make the changes in red ink to your hard copy, chapts 1-9. It shouldn't take too long.

It's odd that the HSM website only provides the Sep 2010 errata, not the latest Feb 2012 errata.

Agreed. If bailey hadn't made this post I would have never known, very thankful!
