I found the Structural Depth Reference Manual for the PE Exam useful for masonry -- about the right amount of depth (I didn't take any other masonry references), and had some practice problems too.

Anyone who has taken the test can't reveal specifics about what was on the test. That said, the specs indicate a pretty low percentage of timber and masonry questions -- should only be a handful.
Oh, got it :thumbs:Oh, you're right, I forgot they reformatted the specs.
From memory, the specs when I took the exam indicated a low percentage of timber and masonry questions.
I'm personally of the philosophy to lean on your strengths in the exam (Timber happens to be one of mine, Masonry is not), but there are many approaches for how to build a personal exam strategy.
Thanks guys for your response. I was wondering...the exam specs are really vague about what questions we can expect? How many questions can we expect on masonry or timber, and what complexity will they be?
