Targeted Training for Solving Civil PE Water Resources and Environmental Depth Exam Problems Six-Minute Solutions for Civil PE Exam Water Resources and Environmental Depth Problems contains 100 multiple-choice problems that are grouped into nine chapters that correspond to a topic on the PE Civil water resources and environmental depth exam. Problems are representative of the exam’s format, scope of topics, and level of difficulty. Like the PE exam, an average of six minutes is required to solve each problem in this book. Each problem includes a hint to provide direction in solving the problem. In addition to the correct solution, you will find an explanation of the faulty solutions leading to the three incorrect answer options. The incorrect options are intended to represent common mistakes specific to different problem types. The solutions are presented in a step-by-step sequence to help you follow the logical development of the correct solution and to provide examples of how you may want to approach your solutions as you take the PE exam. Topics Covered Analysis and Design Drinking Water Distribution and Treatment Engineering Economics Analysis Groundwater and Wells Hydraulics—Closed Conduit Hydraulics—Open Channel Hydrology Wastewater Collection and Treatment Water Quality Key Features Most problems are quantitative, requiring calculations to arrive at a correct solution; a few are nonquantitative. Increase familiarity with the exam problems’ format, content, and solution methods. Connect relevant theory to exam-like problems. Quickly identify accurate problem-solving approaches. Engage with references you will use on exam day. Binding: Paperback Publisher: PPI, A Kaplan Company

Comprehensive Civil Engineering Coverage You Can Trust The Civil Engineering Reference Manual is the most comprehensive textbook for the NCEES Civil PE exam. This book's time-tested organization and clear explanations start with the basics to help you quickly get up to speed with common civil engineering concepts. Together, the 90 chapters provide an in-depth review of all of the topics, codes, and standards listed in the NCEES Civil PE exam specifications. The extensive index contains thousands of entries, with multiple entries included for each topic, so you'll find what you're looking for no matter how you search. Due to the changes in codes for the 2015 NCEES PE exam, there are some updates to this edition. Though not all of PPI's products reflect the adopted editions of the new design standards, in most cases the principles change very little. While specific procedures, equations, or values may change gradually from one edition of a design or reference standard to the next, PPI's books continue to provide an appropriate overview of the design concepts presented, and will prepare you for the upcoming exams. This book features: over 100 appendices containing essential support material over 500 clarifying examples over 550 common civil engineering terms defined in an easy-to-use glossary thousands of equations, figures, and tables industry-standard terminology and nomenclature equal support of U.S. customary and SI units After you pass your exam, the Civil Engineering Reference Manual will continue to serve as an invaluable reference throughout your civil engineering career. Topics Covered Construction: Earthwork Construction and Layout; Estimating Quantities and Costs; Construction Operations and Methods; Scheduling; Material Quality Control and Production; Temporary Structures; Worker Health, Safety, and Environment Geotechnical: Subsurface Exploration and Sampling; Engineering Properties of Soils and Materials; Soil Mechanics Analysis; Earth Structures; Shallow Foundations; Earth Retaining Structures; Deep Foundations Structural: Loadings; Analysis; Mechanics of Materials; Materials; Member Design; Design Criteria Transportation: Traffic Analysis; Geometric Design; Transportation Planning; Traffic Safety Water Resources and Environmental: Closed Conduit Hydraulics; Open Channel Hydraulics; Hydrology; Groundwater and Well Fields; Wastewater Treatment; Water Quality; Water Treatment; Engineering Economics

Contains 100 multiple-choice practice problems (20 for the morning module and 80 for the afternoon module) for the structural topic on the civil PE exam. Each problem is written to be solved in six minutes--the average amount of time examinees will have on the exam.

The Civil PE Sample Examination provides the realistic, timed practice you need to succeed on exam day. Each 40-problem, multiple-choice session simulates the actual exam's format, depth, and problem distribution. Begin by taking the morning session, and then choose one of the five afternoon session disciplines (construction, geotechnical, structural, transportation, or water resources and environmental). After completing the sample exam, use the answer key and the step-by-step solutions to assess your exam readiness. Use the Civil PE Sample Examination to practice solving problems under timed conditions reveal topics that require extra review determine the most efficient ways to solve problems identify the references you may use during the exam Exam Topics Covered Construction Geotechnical Structural Transportation Water Resources & Environmental
