Seismic Principles Practice Exams for the California Special Civil Engineer Examination


Book Description

"The most realistic practice you can get for the California Special Civil Engineer Seismic Examination. The problems and solutions in this book present the basic concepts of seismic design fundamentals, as well as, demonstrate how the code provisions impose seismic considerations on the engineering design of structures. Each of these two complete practice exams have 47 multiple-choice problems that represent the actual exam's problem format, range of topics, and degree of difficulty. Solutions are based on exam-adopted design standards--Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE/SEI7) and the California Building Code / International Building Code (CBC/IBC)."--Publisher's description.




Civil Pe Practice Exam


Book Description

One full-length practice examination for the State of California Civil Seismic Principles exam. This is a realistic practice exam for the California state-specific seismic exam that is required to obtain a professional engineering license in civil engineering in California. Includes 55 realistic seismic problems with detailed, step-by-step solutions to help you prepare for exam day. The solutions in this book directly reference ASCE/SEI 7, the California Building Code/ International Building Code, and the Seismic Design Review Workbook for the California Civil P.E. Seismic Principles Exam (Hiner). Please visit our website at PEPrepared.com for video workshops, course notes, test strategies, tips, and other free resources! PE Prepared was created by real, practicing civil engineers to give E.I.T.s and E.I.s like yourself a leg up on test day. We strove to author realistic questions at the right level of difficulty, with detailed, step-by-step solutions to help you learn the content that is going to be on the exam.




Seismic Inversion


Book Description

This book describes the theory and practice of inverting seismic data for the subsurface rock properties of the earth. The primary application is for inverting reflection and/or transmission data from engineering or exploration surveys, but the methods described also can be used for earthquake studies. Seismic Inversion will be of benefit to scientists and advanced students in engineering, earth sciences, and physics. It is desirable that the reader has some familiarity with certain aspects of numerical computation, such as finite-difference solutions to partial differential equations, numerical linear algebra, and the basic physics of wave propagation. For those not familiar with the terminology and methods of seismic exploration, a brief introduction is provided. To truly understand the nuances of seismic inversion, we have to actively practice what we preach (or teach). Therefore, computational labs are provided for most of the chapters, and some field data labs are given as well.




Passive Seismic Monitoring of Induced Seismicity


Book Description

An introduction to the principles and applications of passive seismic monitoring, providing an accessible overview of current research and technology.




Fundamentals of Seismic Analysis and Design of Buildings


Book Description

a comprehensive introduction to the seismic principles essential for the design of building structures. The book offers a concise but thorough review of seismic theory, code application, design principles, and structural analysis. The book is an ideal review for candidates studying for the California Civil P.E Seismic Principles Exam and the seismic portion of the National Civil P.E 8hrs exam. Updated for 2015 IBC and ASCE 7-10.




Theory and Design of Seismic Resistant Steel Frames


Book Description

A state-of-the-art summary of recent developments in the behaviour, analysis and design of seismic resistant steel frames. Much more than a simple background volume, it gives the most recent results which can be used in the near future to improve the codified recommendations for steel structures in seismic zones. It contains new material which cann




Seismic Methods and Applications


Book Description

This book has been written for those who need a solid understanding of the seismic exploration method without difficult mathematics. It is presented in a format that allows one to naturally progress from the underlying physical principles to the actual seismic method. The mathematics needed for the subject is kept as simple as possible; students only need high school physics and mathematics to thoroughly grasp the principles covered. Dr. Stark has developed this text and honed its content with feedback from hundreds of students over nearly two decades of teaching seismic exploration geophysics. This textbook will teach students the principles for the detection of geologic structures, earthquake zones and hazards, resource exploration, and geotechnical engineering.This title is Winner of 2009 Text and Academic Authors Association "Textbook Excellence Award"
