PE Exam with Structural Breadth - Codes Required?
(OP)
To those of you who took the civil PE exam with the structural breadth, what code books did you need? I will be buying myself and I want to get only the precise ones that are required.
For example, for the IBC do I only need Volume 2 (code and commentary)? For NDS I have 05 edition, can I just print off changes to 2012? Are AASHTO and ACI 530 and PCI required?

Try to have the updated codes. I had a couple questions related to AISC and bolt shear capacities, which were updated in 2010. I'm pretty sure that there were more questions for which the only correct answer required the latest edition.

There have been updates to the masonry code as well.
NDS has new stress values, so you will definitely need that.

1) Should I specifically get Volume 2 only of the 2012 IBC (since volume 1 is a bit off topic)?
2) Should I get OSHA 1926?

Definitely bring OSHA. I had a few look it up style questions there too. Be familiar with the excavations, erection, and general information sections. You can print all the applicable sections from OSHA's website if you have access to free printing. It's a PITA print individual sections, it will save some money.
