THIS BOOK’S ORGANIZATION
Six-Minute Solutions for Structural Engineering (SE) Exam Morning Breadth Problems is organized into two sections: vertical forces and lateral forces. These sections correspond to the vertical and lateral forces breadth (morning) portions of the SE exam and are further divided into three subtopics: analysis of structures, design and detailing of structures, and construction administration. These subtopics correlate with the topics given in the NCEES SE exam specifications.
HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
In Six-Minute Solutions for Structural Engineering (SE) Exam Morning Breadth Problems, each problem statement, with its supporting information and answer choices, is presented in the same format as the problems encountered on the SE breadth exam. However, unlike on the exam, each problem in this book includes a hint to provide direction in solving the problem. Each solution is presented in a step-by-step sequence to help you follow the logical development of the problem’s solving approach and to provide examples of how you may want to solve similar problems on the SE exam.
In addition to the correct solution, you will find an explanation of the faulty solutions leading to the three incorrect answer choices. The incorrect solutions are intended to represent common mistakes made when solving each type of problem. These may be simple mathematical errors, such as failing to square a term in an equation, or more serious errors, such as using the wrong equation.
Solutions presented for each problem may represent only one of several methods for obtaining a correct answer. Although most of the problems in this book have unique solutions, alternative problem-solving methods may produce a slightly different, but nonetheless appropriate, answer.
