Comprehensive Coverage for the 16-Hour Structural Engineering Exam: The Structural Engineering Reference Manual prepares
you for the NCEES 16-hour Structural Engineering (SE) exam. It covers
all exam topics and provides a comprehensive review of structural
analysis and design methods. Exam-adopted codes and standards are
frequently referenced, and solving methods—including strength design for
timber and masonry—are thoroughly explained. You will learn how to
apply concepts pertaining to vertical and lateral forces by reviewing
the 244 example problems. You will also strengthen your problem-solving
skills by working the 44 end-of-chapter practice problems. Each
problem’s complete solution lets you check your own solving approach.
New for the 8th edition, both ASD and LRFD/SD solutions and explanations
are provided for masonry problems, allowing you to familiarize yourself
with different problem solving methods. Access to supportive information is just as important as knowledge and problem-solving efficiency. The Structural Engineering Reference Manual’s
thorough index easily directs you to the codes and concepts you will
need during the exam. Cross references to more than 700 equations, 60
tables, 190 figures, 8 appendices, and relevant codes will point you to
additional support material when you need it.
