In each chapter, problems are arranged in order of increasing complexity, offering practice levels appropriate for each of these tests. Exam topics covered are - Structural Analysis
- Structural Concrete
- Structural Steel
- Timber
- Seismic Analysis
- Foundation Design
- Masonry
In the structural steel chapter, problems may be solved with either the AISC ASD or LRFD method, whichever you're comfortable with. (The NCEES exams permit either method; the California exam requires use of both methods.) Solutions show all essential steps.

 Out of date; questions are in-depth Mar 21, 2010
By s.v.
"s.v."
Each subject goes more into depth as the chapter progresses, so that you can solve in-depth problems for the SE II exam. I haven't finished the problems in this book, but in going through it I'm under the impression that even the "easy" questions are much too in-depth for the SE I exam. I've already taken passed the SE II and was hoping for some representative SE I questions, but I can't take these problems seriously. However, I would add that solving the first problems in each chapter would be a great way to refamiliarize yourself with the concepts.
As someone else stated, every reference in here is out of date, this this book was published in 2003. Reference materials listed in the front include the 1997 UBC, the old ACI, and some books from the late 80's that I've never heard of. And I'm surprised Roark's book would be referenced in the exam.
And finally, it's not a good sign that problem 5 of Chapter 1 is missing the actual question. It only sets up the problem. From the solution in the back, I still can't tell what the question was supposed to be. PPI allows you to search for errata and report issues on their website, but they should really be sending out errata with the book. After all, it's $90 and from 2003.

 Developing Engineering Strategies--Not Just Solving Engineering Problems Apr 04, 2009
By Jan Peczkis
"Scholar and Thinker"
This work presents solved problems not only as ends in themselves, but also as part of thinking up engineering strategies. For example, in the section on timber engineering, there is a truss whose chord has been split along a row of bolts, but not from an overload. The engineer is asked to design a repair for the truss.
The main emphasis throughout this book is on building construction. There is a section on the seismic response of structures, as well as a section on foundations in soil. The section on steel construction includes some problems where frame towers are made of light steel tubing. There are also a couple of Vierendeel frame problems, one of which requires a virtual work solution and the other which requires use of the slope-deflection method to solve.
The solutions are all given in the back. They are well-described with calculations, free-body diagrams, and comments as to how the solution is being arrived at.

Not representative of the exam Oct 14, 2009
By bookowski
I barely used this book in studying for the NY P/E exam. The problems are much too in depth as compared to the exam. It could be useful as a reference guide or general study but don't use it thinking that this is what exam questions will be like. For the exam I would recommend getting the sample exam book straight from NCEES and also the 60 second solutions book, those are much more helpful. If you're looking for a just a general reference book this might be helpful but I think there are better ones out there for that purpose.

Not Real Excited about this one.... Feb 02, 2009
By vp

I'm a relatively young intern studying for my P.E. Exam. This book was written quite a while ago, I'm thinking, and the problems seem a little further advanced from the typical P.E. test prep books I have. I'd be happy to sell it to you myself, if you'd think you'd want a more advanced set of problems to review.
This book is out of date. Oct 17, 2009

This book is out of date. NCEES updated its structural design standards November 1, 2007, effective with the April 2008 examinations. The updates include IBC 2006, ASCE 7-05, ACI 318 2005, AISC 13th edition, PCI 2004, and NDS 2005 codes. Any questions referencing the out of date codes may be incorrect. The AASHTO code which NCEES now uses (3rd ed. 2004 w/2005 and 2006 revisions) is already out of date but is what the exam references.
