Awesome bro! Im trying to do something similar to these on my channel but i focus more on the easier AM questions! Subscribed! From one engineer to another 😅
Thanks for the video Kestava. Just to clarify in finding (k) for columns is it the clear length or the center-to-center length? For beams it does say specifically from center-to-center of joints…
Joji believe it or not I did not bring the Masonry code with me to the exam. I didnt know it well enough and only used the CERM to get through the masonry questions.
@@jojimanalo4712 You might be lucky or smart enough to be able to use CERM only to answer all masonry questions, there are not that many of them anyway. However, I would not risk a single question by not bringing a listed reference material. They always have some simple look-up questions with answers found in the codes only. Also, even CERM isn't perfect. Compare Table 68.1 in CERM and actual MSCJ Table 8.2.4.2. You'll find that the whole line with allowable tensile stresses in CERM for normal to bed joints, fully grouted is incorrect. It is a pretty common table used for checking tensile stresses in unreinforced masonry. A simple unreinforced problem with, for example, tensile stresses from eccentric load will be easily missed if you use values for normal to bed joints, fully grouted from CERM table. So, the lesson is always get familiar with your referenced code, tab it, actually try to use it or cross reference with CERM when studying. Better be safe than sorry.
My advise for AASHTO is to move Index from the back to the very front and tab the main chapters. There is so much information in it that I don’t think it is possible to tab anything specific for a PE. Besides, AASHTO questions usually are not that hard if you can find the required information in the manual fairly quickly. SE is a different story...
Sometimes they shake books pretty heavily. You definitely don’t want anything flying out of your books when they do so. So test it it at home first :) Some big yellow sticky notes are not that sticky.
Hey man thanks for making all these videos. You/your channel deserves more recognition.
Appreciate the kind words K. Spread the word to anyone you know that would be interested in joining this team!
I liked when he popped out of the corner when we were tabing walls! I like this guys. He is awesome!
I like you Mo! yeyeyeye
Even though we can't bring our codes into the exam now, this video was still a helpful run-through to jog the memory :) thanks!
Glad it helped Tamarah!
Thank you so much KEstava! You are the best! Love you.
Happy to help!
This would definitely be helpful for upcoming PE exam. Team Kestava tabs all the way 😁
Joji you just got promoted to senior team member. firm handshakes. congrats. lets keep climbing up that engineering ladder.
@@Kestava_Engineering wow that's awesome . Actually tommorow I will be doing a marathon of your IBC tips and Development length ☝
I was thinking about this video. Dreams do come true
reading your mind Jeet
Im getting prepared to take my Civil Structural PE this upcoming November. Your videos are very helpful! Keep it up! Thanks!
Best of luck!
Thanks!
@@KogaKing SEE YOU THERE !! hahahaahah less than a week away
You awesome Rich!
oh shucks you're making me blush
Loved the video
thanks Luis!

Thanks for the sub! lets make sure to mention one another a we grow. keep it up!

Thank you!!!!
So helpful! 🥲 🙏
im glad it helped you!
They made it easier......ha ha ha
Could you share your Masonry tabs tips and tricks next time? Would really appreciate it. :D

@@Kestava_Engineering woahhh, was CERM enough to solve the masonry questions?

@@denfl6605 ohh, nice tip there. Thank you.
Have you done something similar to this with the AASHTO? First PE attempt in October had 3 very specific AASHTO reference questions.
i had like 4 tabs in the AASHTO manuals. but cant remember them off hand. my bad! I can try to skim through and jog my memory tho!

@@denfl6605 that's a great response! thanks for providing some input!
Hi Having those yellow tabs are allowed in PE Exam??
Thanks
Hi Shams, YES you can tab any book you like for the PE exam as long as there are no loose papers in your books.
Sometimes they shake books pretty heavily. You definitely don’t want anything flying out of your books when they do so. So test it it at home first :) Some big yellow sticky notes are not that sticky.
@@denfl6605 again great info!!!
pardon my disgusting fingers... spray foam doesn't come off...
