ACI Update for PE test
ACI Update for PE test
(OP)
I'm helping a friend of mine study for his PE test (Civil - Construction), y'know, answering questions where I can, throwing pop quiz items at him, showing him alternative refernce books where he can find information faster, etc, and noticed in the list of references they still have ACI 318-05 and IBC 2006.
My question is how often do they update their reference standards? Since ACI 318-08 has been out for quite a while now, I'm kind of surprised to see them still reference 318-05. Same with IBC 2009 vs. 2006.
Just curious.

As far as NCEES is concerned, my impression is that they will adopt the new code one in has been in place and "common place" long enough for practicing engineers to be familiar with that addition.
Personally, I have still not used the IBC 2009 (which means the ACI318-08 has not been opened either) because none of the cities I have worked in has adopted it yet. However, I would expect the NCEES to adopt the 2009 within the next year.

I know for sure there was specific "look up" type questions out of the IBC.
