California PE, Seismic And Survey

(OP)
Can you refer good reference books for Seismic and Survey exams?
That would be better if they have examples similar to PE questions.
Thanks

RE: California PE, Seismic And Survey

I used the review book from Hiner (here: http://www.seismicreview.com/ ) when I took the exam about 15 years ago. Passed first try. The survey exam is just geometry + vertical and horizontal curves, and was much easier than the seismic. I don't remember what I used for that.

RE: California PE, Seismic And Survey

PPI has some excellent books geared to those exams.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

rlotfi --

I wrote a response on reddit to a similar question after having taken and passed all (3) Civil Engineering CA exams this past April. Please note attached link for my detailed response: http://morganmwright.com/reddit-comrcivilengineeri...

In short for seismic I would recommend the review book and on-demand course by Steven T. Hiner (http://www.seismicreview.com/) and for surveying I used the Civil Engineering Reference Manual by Michael R. Lindeburg, Chapters 78-81 (Transportation and Construction chapters).

Thank you,
Morgan M. Wright
