Nothing builds your confidence for an exam like solving problems. 246 Solved Structural Engineering Problems will help you prepare for the NCEES Structural I and II exams, the California state structural exam, and the structural module of the civil PE exam. In each chapter, problems are arranged in order of increasing complexity, offering practice levels appropriate for each of these tests. Exam topics covered are Structural Analysis Structural Concrete Structural Steel Timber Seismic Analysis Foundation Design Masonry In the structural steel chapter, problems may be solved with either the AISC ASD or LRFD method, whichever you're comfortable with. (The NCEES exams permit either method; the California exam requires use of both methods.) Solutions show all essential steps.
Structural Engineering Solved Problems contains 100 practice problems representing a broad range of topics on the Structural Engineering (SE) and Civil PE exams. Each problem provides an opportunity to apply your knowledge of structural engineering concepts. The breadth of topics covered and the varied complexities of the problems allow you to assess and strengthen your problem-solving skills. Problems in both qualitative and quantitative formats are included, and solutions use the same codes and standards adopted for the exam. Step-by-step solutions are used to solve numerical problems, and detailed explanations are given for qualitative problems. Structural Engineering Solved Problems will help you to familiarize yourself with the exam topics connect relevant structural engineering theories to challenging problems navigate through exam-adopted codes and standards identify accurate and efficient problem-solving approaches Topics Covered Foundations and Retaining Structures Masonry Design Seismic Design Structural Analysis Structural Concrete Design Structural Steel Design Timber Design Codes and Standards Used in This Book AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications (AASHTO) Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures (ACI 530/530.1) Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318) International Building Code (IBC) Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE/SEI7) National Design Specification for Wood Construction ASD/LRFD (NDS) PCI Design Handbook: Precast and Prestressed Concrete (PCI) Seismic Design Manual (AISC 325) Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic with Commentary (SDPWS) Steel Construction Manual (AISC 327) North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members (AISI)
Three main structural engineering exams are given as part of the licensing process. Two are national exams, known as NCEES Structural I and Structural II. The third is the California state exam. All three exams are open-book, and the problem types vary from all multiple-choice to all essay-format. The exams are administered in April and October.A Solved Problems book is also available, for extra practice. -- Practice problems cover a wide range of exam topics -- Includes full solutions -- References the 1997 Uniform Building Code, the code tested on the exam
Written by 6 professors, each with a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering; A detailed description of the examination and suggestions on how to prepare for it; 195 exam, essay, and multiple-choice problems with a total of 510 individual questions; A complete 24-problem sample exam; A detailed step-by-step solution for every problem in the book; This book may be used as a separate, stand-alone volume or in conjunction with Civil Engineering License Review, 14th Edition (0-79318-546-7). Its chapter topics match those of the License Review book. All of the problems have been reproduced for each chapter, followed by detailed step-by-step solutions. Similarly, the 24-problem sample exam (12 essay and 12 multiple-choice problems) is given, followed by step-by-step solutions to the exam. Engineers looking for a CE/PE review with problems and solutions will buy both books. Those who want only an elaborate set of exam problems, a sample exam, and detailed solutions to every problem will purchase this book. 100% problems and solutions.
Six-Minute Solutions for Structural Engineering (SE) Exam Morning Breadth Problemscontains 90 multiple-choice problems representative of the format and knowledge areas of the morning breadth exams for lateral and vertical forces. Youll learn accurate and efficient solving methods by reviewing each problems comprehensive, step-by-step solution.

With an average of six minutes to solve each SE exam multiple-choice problem, efficiency is vital to your success. Six-Minute Solutions for Structural Engineering (SE) Exam Morning Breadth Problems will help you quickly identify accurate solution procedures, effectively apply exam-adopted codes and standards, and increase your problem solving speed. These practice problems will familiarize you with the multiple-choice format, difficulty, and subject matter of the four-hour morning breadth exams for both lateral and vertical forces. Later force problems focus on wind and earthquake loads, and vertical force problems address loads due to gravity. Problems illustrate a range of structural engineering exam topics, including structural analysis of bridges and buildings, design and detailing of structures, and construction administration. All problems include hints to help you jumpstart your solutions. Comprehensive, step-by-step solutions illustrate efficient and accurate solution approaches. Solutions also describe common errors that lead to incorrect answers. The codes and standards adopted by NCEES are referenced throughout.
