A common practice of industry professionals is to divide TONS by (2) to get CY. Dividing TONS by (2) to get CY assumes that the in place aggregate will have a density of 148 lb/ft The Civil Engineering Reference Manual provides a comprehensive review of all five NCEES Civil PE exam content areas: construction, geotechnical, structural, transportation, and water resources and environmental engineering. Geotechnical: Subsurface Exploration & Sampling * Engineering Properties of Soils & Materials * Soil Mechanics Analysis * Earth Structures * Shallow Foundations * Earth Retaining Structures The Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam tests for a minimum level of competency in a particular engineering discipline. Practice Problems for the Civil Engineering PE Exam : A Companion to the Civil Engineering Reference Manual

Geotechnical: Earth and earth-retaining structures; shallow foundations; soil mechanics analysis; soils and materials properties; subsurface exploration and sampling

Water Resources and Environmental: Closed conduit and open channel hydraulics; hydrology; water and wastewater treatment NCEES does not sell printed copies of the handbook or provide design standards. Design standards are available through the publisher, typically as both an electronic and printed copy. NCEES will provide an electronic reference handbook and all specified design standards during the exam. This handbook and the standards listed on the exam specifications are the only reference materials that can be used during the exam. You will not be allowed to bring personal copies of any material into the exam room. Register or log in to MyNCEES to access a copy of the handbook. Modified concrete and masonry chapters to be consistent with NCEES'' revised structural specifications Removed all ACI 318 App. C theory, equations, and examples to be consistent with NCEES requirement of exclusive use of ACI 318 unified strength methods Provided new content, including Mechanical engineering review manual: a complete review course for the P.E. examination for mechanical engineers

Register for the exam by logging in to your MyNCEES account and following the onscreen instructions. Prepare for your exam by The PE Civil exam is a breadth and depth examination. The breadth items cover topics from all five areas of civil engineering. The depth items focus more closely on a single area of practice. The handbook and the design standards used on the exam are searchable PDF files with linked chapters for easy navigation. Learn more about how to search the handbook and design standards with our YouTube video .

NCEES has successfully converted or is in the process of converting, all exams to a computer-based format. The PE Civil exam is computer-based and administered year-round at NCEES-approved Pearson VUE test center .

Renowned author, Michael R. Lindeburg, PE, has extensively revised the Reference Manual. Updates include expanded topic coverage, reformulated example problems, and hundreds of new index entries. Substantial revisions to the structural, transportation, and construction topics reflect the exam's reliance on NCEES-adopted codes and standards. The use of consistent nomenclature makes it easy to cross-reference concepts among chapters. In total, 84 of the 89 chapters have been revised and updated. Water Resources & Environmental: Hydraulics--Closed Conduit * Hydraulics--Open Channel * Hydrology * Wastewater Treatment * Water Treatment It is designed for engineers with a minimum of four years of post-college work experience in their chosen engineering discipline.
