In response to tumbleleaves, we epoxy coat all bars in northern Utah. This is done to minimize corrosion due to the heavy use of salts for road maintenance. If BridgeEI's bridge is in a seismic zone (SDC C or D) and you are applying AASHTO's Guide Specifications for LRFD Seismic Bridge Design...

I've dealt with this issue recently. In my AISC 3rd edition (LRFD) Table J3.2 gives the Shear strength in bearing-type connections. F1554 anchor rods have a nominal strength of 0.40Fu (Threaded) and 0.50Fu (Not Threaded). I compared this to the ASD approach -0.17Fu Threaded and 0.22Fu Not...

If you're preparing for the Structural I & II examination, this wouldn't matter because you select either bridge or building questions. If you don't have bridge experience then you'd obviously select buildings and wouldn't have to worry about the AASHTO code.

I think its important to know where you want to go with structural engineering. Do you plan to design bridges? If so, I'd strongly recommend a prestressed concrete course. Also, where do you plan on practicing? If you are planning to practice in an area of moderate to high seismicity then...
