Structural Engineering Reference Manual

The Structural Engineering Reference Manual is the most thorough reference and study guide available to engineers preparing for the difficult structural engineering exams--the NCEES Structural I or Structural II exam, or the California State structural exam. Explanations of key concepts and presentation of 37 practice problems help examinees understand what they will encounter on the exam and the best way to approach solving problems. Fully worked-out solutions are given for all of the practice problems. 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. The Structural Engineering Reference Manual is designed to be a core text for all three exams; examinees need it to prepare for and use during their exam. Along with concise reviews of exam topics, practice problems (with solutions) help reinforce key concepts. The manual is up-to-date, referencing the current building codes tested on the exams. A Solved Problems book is also available, for extra practice.Williams, Alan is the author of 'Structural Engineering Reference Manual', published 2001 under ISBN 9781888577631 and ISBN 1888577630.
