Synopsis
The Structural Engineering Reference Manual is the most comprehensive reference and study guide available for engineers preparing for the NCEES 16-hour Structural PE exam. Nearly 40 practice problems with step-by-step solutions help you sharpen your problem solving skills, while demonstrating how to arrive at solutions most efficiently. Numerous charts, tables, and figures make it possible to work most exam problems using the reference manual alone. Quickly locate the important information you need to solve problems using the comprehensive index.
Because the Structural PE exam requires a thorough familiarity with relevant codes, the Structural Engineering Reference Manual, 5th Edition, is updated to the following:
- 2004 edition of PCI
- 2005 edition of ASCE 7
- 2005 edition of NDS
- 2005 editions of ACI 318 and ACI 530/530.1
- 2005 edition of AISC, Steel Construction Manual
- 2006 edition of IBC
- 2007 edition of AASHTO
Exam Topics Covered
- Reinforced Concrete Design
- Timber Design
- Foundations & Retaining Structures
- Design of Reinforced Masonry
- Prestressed Concrete Design
- Seismic Design
- Structural Steel Design
- Design of Bridges

Introduction
PART 1: HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
This Structural Engineering Reference Manual is intended to help you prepare for the 16-hour Structural Engineering (SE) exam administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). The NCEES SE exam will test your knowledge of structural principles by presenting problems that cover the design of an entire structure or portion of a structure. The exam is given in four modules—two concerning vertical forces and two concerning lateral forces. The eight chapters of this book are organized around the eight areas in which these forces are applied.
These eight areas include
- reinforced concrete design
- foundations and retaining structures
- prestressed concrete design
- structural steel design
- timber design
- reinforced masonry design
- lateral forces (wind and seismic)
- bridge design
Your solutions to the SE exam problems must be based on the NCEES-adopted codes and design standards. Therefore, you should carefully review the appropriate sections of the exam-adopted design standards and codes that are presented, analyzed, and explained in each chapter of this book. Each of the examples in this
book focuses on one specific code principle and offer a clear interpretation of that principle.
