About this title

Synopsis

This book is designed to provide a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of both the theoretical and practical aspects of seismology and structural engineering, making it accessible to readers with no prior background in the field. Recognizing that many exam candidates may not be structural engineers or seismic experts, it starts from the basics and provides a clear, user-friendly approach.

This book also condenses the vast array of references required for the exam, including detailed and complex codes such as the CBC 2022, TMS 402/602 for masonry, ASCE 7-16, and ATC-20. Instead of overwhelming readers with dense material, this book summarizes the essential information in a bespoke, easy-to-follow format. It includes custom-designed processes, reference tables, and user-friendly diagrams and charts to simplify understanding and ensure that you can finish your exam efficiently, with confidence, and on time.

In addition, the book features numerous illustrative sketches to clarify complex scenarios and provides concise summaries of key code requirements. It also includes valuable tips for success, highlights common mistakes to avoid, and offers a wide range of well-thought-out questions, figures, and sketches to reinforce your understanding. Tested in a real exam setting, this book has been proven to be highly effective in helping readers master the material and pass the exam with ease.

This book is part of a highly successful series (The PE Essential Guides) and a best-selling collection, with numerous positive reviews from readers for the series. You can check the ratings and read honest feedback from those who have used the rest of the series to excel in their exams.
