Description: Practice Problems for the Civil Engineering PE Exam contains over 915 problem designed to reinforce your knowledge of the topics presented in the Civil Engineering Reference Manual. Short, six-minute, multiple-choice problems follow the format of the NCEES Civil Engineering PE exam and focus on individual engineering concepts. Longer, more complex problems challenge your skills in identifying and applying related engineering concepts. Problems will familiarize you with codes and standards you'll use on the exam. Solutions are clearly, written, complete, and easy to follow. U.S. customary and SI units are equally supported, and units are meticulously identified and carried through in all calculations. All solution methodologies permitted by the NCEES Civil PE exam (e.g. ASD and FRFD) are presented. Frequent references to figures, tables, equations, and appendices in the Civil Engineering Reference Manual and exam adopted codes and standards will direct you to relevant support material.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references.
