We did. Credit where credit is due and you are good in my book too.

Good luck to you on your website.
I would say also, keep in mind that if you are going to take the pictures yourself or have them taken for you that seems reasonable. However if you plan to mine someone else's website for images of your projects, you definitely ask for permission from the owner of the photo. Ron is right...
Depending on your current code...
ACI 318-05: 21.11
ACI 318-08: 21.13
These sections deal with members not designated as part of the SLRS. As for the actual rigidity of the gravity columns, recommend the commentary to these sections as to the assumptions of flexural yielding and appropriate...
a2mfk is right, a good formliner and a nice paint job will get the same effect, and save the taxpayers money in the long run, both during construction, and the future maintenance. It's done all the time.
They can find another way to waste the extra cash.
In CA, I have heard that in situations such as that the State Chapters of the SEA, provide a review service for those who are short the appropriate amount of references. That obviously will not help you in aerospace or Ohio, but maybe you could contact a local chapter of a professional...
So i guess i am confused, have you (OP) not taken any other exams? just the EIT? do other states go straight to the 16hr now? Maybe we need a thread on that... or maybe there has been one...
No troubles in the EIT (now FE), or the SE, but for the PE in CA there are State specific exams...
To start, this is not intended to be a CA is better than all other states in licensure message, it just happens to be where I am, so that is my experience with exams. And it is just observation and fact.
Observation: I have to disagree with TXStruct on one point: The national 16-hr exam is...
"You do a small piece where you figure out the problem, how it will work, and then..."
Sounds like you need to be getting some experience at management, be it going back to school, or a training program in a firm etc. That way you can globally throw solutions out and have the minions do all...
TLHS is right, also, another stipulation I have used in the past is that the sign must be in all applicable languages.
If most workers speak/read a language other than English, then there you go, a sign might be worthless if it was just in english.
If posting is the way that is chosen. Conspicuous is the key word. Make sure the sign is located in a Conspicuous location. Somewhere that it will not get covered, or blocked in the future. Maybe at he top of the stairs, ladder or access (whatever you have).
Most everyone here has recommended the use of 0.6D for overturning resistance in wood ASD design; this is based on ASD load combos in both ASCE 7 & the IBC I presume. No one has mentioned the requirement that the vertical component of seismic must be applied also, 0.2Sds (ASCE 7-05, 12.4.2.2)...
henri2 - If i read your post correctly, you are implying that you now need not be a licensed civil to sit for the SE exam, that is not the case. You still must be a licensed civil with 3 years practicing structural beyond your license as a PE and all the references etc, etc to sit for the 16...
its been 16 hours in two days for SE in my state (CA) for years. but that was comprised of the National SE-II and the state specific seismic SE-III. State law still mandates that a CA specific test be administered for a SE license, so CA still will have a state specific requirement.
I vote...
