Out of date - uses LFD design Review by Anonymous

Overall

I bought this book hoping it would serve as a good study guide and reference for the bridge portion of my upcoming SE exam. I was very disappointed when I opened the book to see it follows the AASHTO Standard Specifications, which is based on LFD design, and not the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. It was noted on PPI's description of the book that it has not been updated to the most current structural codes. It's not like this hasn't kept up with the codes that make mostly minor changes every three years, this is based on an entirely different design methodology that is rarely used any more and is certainly not valid for the SE or PE exams. It maybe a well-written book that was very helpful when the codes it references were current, but it will be of little use in my preparation for the test in 2012. In fact, I probably won't even read any more than the Preface for fear that I will accidentally revert to LFD design during the exam. PPI should note clearly that this is not applicable to current design methodology, not just not updated to current codes. Don't waste your money. (Posted on 4/1/12)
