Ace the civil engineering PE exam on the first try!
Civil Engineering PE All-in-One Exam Guide covers all the material included on the Principles and Practice of Civil Engineering (PE-CIVIL) exam, given by the National Council of Examiners in Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). Presented in the Breadth and Depth format of the actual exam, this authoritative volume features equations, diagrams, exam preparation strategies, and practice questions with solutions. Detailed and comprehensive, this book serves as both a complete certification exam guide and an essential on-the-job reference.
Covers all exam topics, including:
- Structural: materials, member design, design criteria.
- Geotechnical: soil mechanics, foundations, excavation, seismic issues.
- Water resources and environmental: hydraulics, hydrology, water supply and quality, wastewater treatment.
- Transportation: capacity analysis, planning, freeways, multilane highways.
- Construction: scheduling, estimating, quality control, safety.
From the Introduction
This book is organized into five modules: structural, geotechnical, water resources, transportation, and construction. Chapters are numbered accordingly - structural chapters are numbered 101 through 115, geotechnical chapters are numbered 201 through 212, water and environmental chapters are numbered 301 through 306, transportation chapters are numbered 401 through 410, and construction chapters are numbered 501 through 509.
The NCEES syllabus for the structural depth module includes several topics that overlap with the four other major depth areas. Some of these overlapping topics have been presented in other sections in this book. These topics are as follows:
Engineering properties of soils and materials in Chap. 201
