The previous version of this book was prepared based on some of the standards that now are superseded by the later version such as ACI 318-14 and NDS 2015. AISC 13 edition still is used for solving the steel problems. Two individual PEs have checked the problems to ensure the solutions are correct. Our intention is to assist Civil and Structural PE candidates to be prepare for their professional licensing exam. It is clear that we won't be able to cover everything however we try to use our past experiences to come up with more practical type of problems which you may see it in the actual exam. We have used Matchcad for solving the problems and checked them several times this time to ensure copy-paste into word file dose not change the units and formulas. We really thank you for your input for improving the upcoming versions and will more appreciate for contacting us via our email: kourosh.akbari@kngpllc.com for any specific comments instead of posting it to social media. In this way we would know exactly which part of the problems you are referring to and it would be much easier for us to address the issues for the future updates. Once again thank you. NCEES conducts a comprehensive paper examination for the qualified engineers who are willing to become Professional Engineers. For PE exam preparation you need tools other than your daily experience. You will be examined for a variety of knowledge, codes and standards. Good resources and classes will equip you for the exam but you need to know how to use them in an efficient manner during the exam. The only way you can pass the exam is to use your time efficiently. The following problems have been prepared for the candidates who have civil/structural background and are only for practices purposes. Some of the problems are very comprehensive, and it may cover multiple questions. However, for training purposes it is included in one question. My emphasis is to show what you need to focus on and never underestimate any point that you may think it would not be question in the exam. I hope this book can help you even a little bit for achieving your great goal. Based on my experiences I advise you to treat these problems as a real test. Do not look at the solution and try to answer them within 6 minutes for each question. After comparing your solution and the solution at the end of the book mark your mistakes and see what your weakest point are and start working more on those topics. All the best for the upcoming PE exam.
