Hello there, I’ve been a senior field tech for the last 6 years. I’ve done an absurd amount of HA/DCPs to determine the bearing pressure for retaining walls etc. do any engineers in here know of an alternative to gather useful data? Or at least using a gas powered augur to get to the depths to run a DCP.
Any help would be appreciated, my back and shoulders appreciate it too.
Hello, I just purchased the ICC structural masonry codes and plans and will be taking the tests on Saturday.
Seeking some advice:
Codes: Does anyone have any tips for the codes potion? Currently I have the book tabbed out, and using chat GPT to give me practice tests. Then turning those practice tests into flash cards to study.
Plans: I feel decent about the plans section. I have a bit of field experience with them. And my thought is ICC plans exams are pretty straight forward since the answer in theory should be written infront of you. Unless I’m missing something.
And general tips and advice would be appreciated!
