Note to PE Exam Candidates
Civil Engineering License Review, 15th Edition, is based on the IBC 2000. [1] After its publication, NCEES adopted IBC 2003 [2] as one of the structural design standards for use in the PE exams for civil and structural engineering. A summary of the main differences between the two codes and how they affect the examples and problems in this book follows.
We are currently updating the affected examples and problems to reflect IBC 2003 data and solution methods. As updates are completed in advance of the April 2005 PE exams, they will be posted on our Web site http://www.KaplanAECEngineering.com. Check the Exam and Product Updates link for information as it becomes available. A new edition of the book that includes the updates will be available in summer 2005.
IBC 2000 and 2003 can be purchased through our Web site, http://www.KaplanAECEngineering.com. Click on the Reference Materials box and select PE Exam.
