Seismic Design of Building Structures A Professional's Introduction to Earthquake Forces and Design Details

In California, engineers taking the civil PE exam are also required to take two open-book exams on seismic and surveying. Each exam is 2 1/2 hours with around 50 multiple-choice problems. Both exams are given every April and October. Seismic Design of Building Structures is the main review for the seismic exam. It is complemented with a Solved Problems book and a Practice Exams book. For the surveying exam, the review text is Surveying Principles for Civil Engineers. A Practice Exam is also offered. All these books reference the 1997 UBC, which is used on the current exams.Lindeburg, Michael R. is the author of 'Seismic Design of Building Structures A Professional's Introduction to Earthquake Forces and Design Details', published 2001 under ISBN 9781888577525 and ISBN 1888577525.
