What sets it apart:

Comprehensive coverage for all possible exam topics Structured and guided approach and the presentation of questions Thorough explanations for each question Alternative solutions provided LRFD and ASD methods used

With this guide in your hands, you will gain an edge over other candidates as it includes questions of varying lengths and difficulties, some of which are longer than what you would encounter in the actual exam. By tackling these complex questions, you will develop a deep understanding of all exam topics, making the real exam more manageable.

Topics covered:

Structural analysis: 2D and 3D truss analysis and deflection, beams and frames analysis and deflection, influence lines for beams and trusses, torque analysis, cables, and wires and more. Cross sections analysis: shear centers, shear flow, unsymmetrical loading, maximizing moment of inertia, composite sections, prestressed sections, steel sections and more. Loads analysis: particular focus on the ASCE 7 code, LRFD and IBC and few other codes which include specifications for loads. This includes but not limited to - base shear analysis for tall buildings, vertical and horizontal seismic loads distribution, understanding seismic loads and their direction of application, retaining wall loading, flood elevation load analysis, footing analysis, load combinations, load combinations when seismic loads are present, various scenarios of snow loads, various scenarios for wind loads, bridge load analysis, rain load, flood load, live loads their combinations and criteria, and more. Structural design: concrete, concrete structures and sections, beams, and slabs, two-way slab analysis and one-way slab analysis and more. Masonry sections, members, walls, and beams. Steel structures, sections, corbels, beams, and columns and more. Wood joints, sections, beams along with various types of wood used, connections and more. Codes and specifications: this book has questions that tackles all the codes and specifications used in the NCEES structural exam.
