Set exams — built from the simulator bank
Each paper is assembled automatically from the question bank: only material the class has covered by that point in the semester, drawn round-robin across chapters, with figure-based calculation problems selected first. The draw is seeded, so one paper number gives every student the same exam.
Six problem groups (Ch. 1–5: net area & shear lag, tension strength, rupture & block shear, column selection, column strength, effective length & live-load reduction). Choose ONE question per group, select the answer, and show a full step-by-step worked solution with units and AISC/ASCE references. Locked until the Administrator opens the exam.
Comprehensive and harder than the midterm, with no repeated items: weighted to Ch. 4 tension, Ch. 5 compression, Ch. 21/22 RC materials & flexure, Ch. 23 RC shear and Ch. 26 RC columns, all figure-backed. Locked until the Administrator opens the exam.
FE-style breadth exam administered once in Week 12 — 20 figure-based problems pulled from the FE Exam Simulator bank, calculator required.
Structural FE Exam Simulator
20 calculation-focused questions on AISC Steel (Chapters 1–8) and ACI Concrete (all chapters). Drawn from a pool of 71 calc problems (24 steel · 43 concrete · 4 loads/general).
Bring your calculator — each item requires arithmetic on LRFD/ACI equations. Reshuffles every new attempt.
