I'm studying for the IL S.E. exam and I've been out of school a long time. What I'm finding is that I've had to go back to the basics (statics, mech & materials, and structural analysis) and relearn a lot to be able to better understand some of the more advanced items in steel and concrete...

For some reason I can't seem to use the quote funtion. Enable. The instructor I had for my concrete review course recommended the CRSI 2008 10th ED. The only physical copy I can find cost $800 on Amazon. I then called CRSI to purchase the pdf version. I was told that the device it was...

Hey everyone. I'm taking the SE exam in April and I can't fine a decent set of RC column interaction diagrams. I'm having trouble find some that are useful. I even bought the CRSI design guide. There isn't enough separation on some of the diagrams. For instance the 16"x16" shows the curve...

DPAJR I didn't realize that this was a traffic bridge. When I said a "bridge girder" I meant for a bridge crane. I'm afraid that I'm going to have to agree with MichSt and say you need to use AASHTO for this. Granted, it sounds like you could get away with using AISC, but it's still not the...

The Michigan Building Code gives a Live Load for cat walks. I imagine the IBC would give it also. As for the deflection I'd think that l/240 would work for the Total Load and l/360 for the Live Load.

DPAJR I've always read that section to mean perpendicular to the web. Also, if this moving load is for a a monorail, bridge girder, or crane girder; you need to check for fatigue. Did you increase your loading for impact? If this is a high use beam you need to be carefull about your...

AggieYank I've got a couple of articles on slab design that take into account wheel loads for fork lifts and such. "Slab Thickness Design for Industrial Concrete Floors on Grade" by Robert G. Packard. It was in PCA's Concrete Information "Concrete Floor Slabs ON Grade Subjected To Heavy Loads"...

Yeah, and I'm sure when a doctor is on vacation outside his/her state he/she tells people when they ask "I'm a doctor, but only in state x". Maybe eventually we'll have a nation wide license, but in the meantime we get to agree and disagree on this topic.:)

Again, if I've met the state's requirements then I've met them.

This may put gas on the fire, but what the heck. If and when I pass the SE1 and SE2 and pay my money for the license and stamp, I'm a SE in IL and a PE in MI. This is regardless of what others may think or complain about. If I've met the requirment of a particular state what difference is...

swivel63 is correct. I also believe you need to get an actual SE license from a state that has the structural engineer designation. Most of the time you have to pass the SE1 and SE2, but CA has an extra test that you have to take in addition to the 1 and 2 exams. For example: I'm a structural...

I had to load rate storage racks and shelving bins (for safety at a steel mill) by Bowman and I couldn't find a dang thing. I finally found the company and called them to see if they could supply me with any of their manufacturer data. They told me that they bought the bins from someone else...

Whoops! Meant 3 spans!

Well it's been a about 5 years since I even considered a two way slab. I'm more of a steel guy anyways. I'm not too clear on your situation and some of the criteria. Can you not use the direct method because you have less than two spans (13.6.1.1)? If this is a small area I think I'd just...
