This would also be a good resource for engineers preparing for the Structural Principles & Practice (PE) Exam.

How difficult is the material compared with your PE exam?

Greg - Based on other material that I have covered with my continuing education PE review students, I would say that difficulty is comparable to concrete problems on the Structural I exam or the afternoon portion of the Civil (Structural) exam.

OK, thanks. I'll have a look.

I wondered about that, also. Came up with two reasons (justifications)

1. There are plenty of engineers (including me) who do not design "reinforced concrete floor systems" on a day to day basis.

2. The details of how to do design anything are "tweaked" from time to time. I don't know if that is the case here, but this tutorial is based on the latest revision of ACI-318, the 2005 version.
