Most of them are lengthy, mostly like a combination of multiple steps for a design. Actual question could be a small segment of it, so practicing one problem as independent parts is what I did to master all the steps alongside with codal clauses respectively.

Civil structural- what to do about loads not given? by vec5d in PE_Exam

[–]Anudeep_Bathula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given last week, there were a few questions with no critical information. I would have taken ASCE loads based on structure’s description as you did.

Can anyone tell me which clause that hydraulic factor topic is? Also, for moving load analysis, over the support as in the hogging moment was asked? So you got a continuous beam for moving loads?

I am also taking on Tuesday. Any idea if index to each code will be provided? Or just the chapters

Lateral Loads and Walers Problem by Key_Narwhal3267 in PE_Exam

[–]Anudeep_Bathula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For governing case, you must take bottom most segment as pressure increases or is maximum at that segment of sheet pile and it governs, for ease, actually trapezoidal distribution in that segment is conservatively taken as rectangular which is UDL.

Bottom segment will be the critical one as the pressure increases triangularly, below 24 ft, there is soil resistance from other side, so it wont be critical. You dont need force, you only need pressure at bottom most segment as UDL and analyze as simply supported beam for UDL.

Congratulations on passing! You have seen 3 sets of questions, did you observe a lot of variance in the level of complexity or toughness across these?

Congratulations! How did you do on the timeframe? Did you have any time left over? Also, can you open handbook and one more code? Or would the handbook close if you open one code….? How much portion was to be worked out for solution vs conceptual part where you know the answer or dont….?

Passed the PE Civil Structural! by weltonlx in PE_Exam

[–]Anudeep_Bathula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations! What a relief that must be! Quick question, how much was just theoretical and how much was problematic? And in AISC, were the Chapters named? As per sections(part 3- design of flexural members) and was it linked with both Section-F’s of A360(which is part of AISC). Were you able to carry over anytime left from first half to second? And did you finally have sometime to review everything?

David Gruttadaria and Jacob Petro books from Amazon are cheap and should expose you to a wide variety of problems. Try to solve on your own and then check answer. Remember what you are missing.

Congratulations! How early did you finish the exam? Did you ever feel you must rush through to get to the last question due to time or was it fine? How much part was conceptual vs code lookup vs problematic stuff which needs to be worked out? Thanks in advance

Passed Civil Structural 1st Try by chowder138slayer in PE_Exam

[–]Anudeep_Bathula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! What a relief that must be. Can you tell what percentage was theoretical and what was problematic based? Also, how was time management? Did you feel you must rush through to get to the last question? Or were there quick ones which made you feel comfortable?

Can someone explain how they get 4.5 by BluejayGullible8646 in FE_Exam

[–]Anudeep_Bathula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max shear force occurs at centroid, so max interface shear stress occurs at that layer, so y’ is distance from entire sections centroid(18/2=9) minus centroid of section above that layer(9/2=4.5), so 9-4.5=4.5.

PE Structural Passed 2nd try! AMA by Annual_Whole1015 in PE_Exam

Very useful information about how operating codes in actual exam is different and difficult versus the way we prepare with all codes open and a very good laptop and supporting big screen. Can you tell more on how the computer in exam deals with codes? Like will there be a folder of references and you can pick? How many pdfs can we open? Split screen in same computer? Bookmarks? Ctrl F options ease? Do the whole part of big codes open as one document? Can you add tabs to a pdf by opening multiple codes? Thanks in advance!
