For a while now I have been looking for certification exams examples.
I am looking mainly for LEED and PE (U.S.A.) exams examples. If they have a solution manual it will be even better.
If anyone has any other CERTIFICATION Tests that they wish to contribute, please do so by all means.
Yes, I have searched the other great CIVILEA threads. I found some really nice guide books, but some extra samples exams would not hurt.
I also would like to make this thread a resource thread for people who may be taking those tests in the future. Thank you all in advanced.
Applications of Computational mechanics in Geotechnical Engineering
PROCEEDINGS OF THE 5TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON APPLICATIONS OF
COMPUTATIONAL MECHANICS IN GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
GUIMARÃES / PORTUGAL / 1–4 APRIL 2007
The Workshop provided an excellent opportunity to hold high level discussions and to define novel approaches for the solution of relevant engineering problems. The meeting attracted researchers, academics, students, software developers, and professionals of all areas of Geotechnics. During the event the following topics were addressed: Constitutive models, Computational models, Artificial intelligence, Underground structures, Soil and rock excavations,Foundation,s Ground reinforcement, Environmental geotechnics, Oil geomechanics, Embankments and rail track for high speed trains.

The following book is specifically oriented to the theory and application of AE/MS techniques in the geotechnical area. According to Roberts (1977) “Geotechnology is a field of study and engineering in which the applied geologist, the civil engineer and the mining engineer have a common interest”. Therefore, in this text it is generally assumed that geotechnical applications
include those in surface and underground mining, foundation engineering, tunneling, and rock and soil mechanics

BS 8888:2008 brings together, in one easy-to-follow document, all international standards needed to prepare technical product specifications (TPS), in accordance with geometrical product specification principles.
BS 8888 helps you to better use the ISO system of product specification.
It gives you a unifying identity for the collection of ISO standards and an index to the standards which comprise the ISO system, referencing them according to their area of application. BS 8888 also makes reference to additional British and European Standards where they provide information or guidance over and above that provided by ISO standards
Commentary and recommendations on the application of the standards which UK businesses may find useful is also included.
BS 8888 covers more than just engineering drawing - it covers all aspects of technical product specification, including, for instance, the use of 3D CAD models to define component geometry.
BS 8888 ensures users:
Have access to one reference source with all information
Speak the same language when specifying and graphically representing products
Are precise in their application by leaving no room for misinterpretation
Help the smooth transfer of design concept to manufacturing process
Shorten product development time
Increase speed to market.
BS 8888 contains:
Terms and definitions
Global standards underpinning BS 8888
Types of documentation
Scales
Lines, arrows and terminators; lettering
Projections and views; sections
Symbols and abbreviations
Representation of features and components
Dimensioning and tolerancing; geometrical tolerancing
Surface texture indication
Graphical representation and annotation of 3-D data (3-D modelling output)
Verification, security and storage and retrieval
Marking
Protection notices
Annexes cover topics including cast, forged and moulded parts, document security, the key differences between BS 8888 geometrical tolerancing and ASME Y14.5 geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, and forthcoming amendments to BS ISO 1101:2004.
It is not the intention that BS 8888 should be a “stand-alone” standard since it is part of a triumvirate of Technical Product Realization standards also comprising BS 8887 and BS 8889.
BS 8888:2008 supersedes BS 8888:2006, which is withdrawn. This new edition updates the fourth edition, bringing in relevant standards published during 2007 and early 2008. It does not represent a full revision of the standard, which will be undertaken in due course.

BS 6744:2009 Stainless steel bars for the reinforcement of and use in concrete
This British Standard specifies requirements and describes methods of test for solid stainless steel bars used for the reinforcement of, and use in, concrete. It covers plain round steel bars in grade 200 and ribbed and plain steel bars in grades 500 and 650.
This Standard applies to bars in which the ribs have been formed by the cold working or hot rolling processes. This Standard also applies to plain bars. Stainless steel bars produced from material whose metallurgical history is not known and fully documented are excluded from this standard.

BS 8490:2007 Guide to siphonic roof drainage systems
BS 8490:2007 Guide to siphonic roof drainage systems
BS 8490 is the British Standard applies to roof drainage systems using circular-section pipes that operate under siphonic action. It does not apply to siphonic drainage systems using rectangular or trapezoidal section conduits for water conveyance.
It gives information and provides guidance on design parameters, installation, verification and maintenance needs of siphonic roof drainage systems. Guidance is also given on carrying out checks of designs, for the use of specifiers and regulatory authorities. Particular issues for site drainage systems that receive flows from siphonic roof drainage systems are also covered.
BS 8490 should be read in conjunction with BS EN 12056-3 which deals with the layout and calculation of roof drainage. BS8490 gives information facilitating the use of BS EN 12056-3 in the United Kingdom with regard to siphonic roof drainage systems; it does not alter any of the provisions of that standard.

BS 8221:2000 Code of practice for cleaning and surface repair of buildings
BS 8221-1:2000 Code of practice for cleaning and surface repair of buildings This standard provides guidance on removal or partial removal of deposits from the original surface or substrate of a building. Advice is given on the principal cleaning methods in use and the characteristics of surface deposits. Guidance is given on cleaning natural stones, clay brick, calcium silicate brick, glazed and unglazed terracotta/faience, and cast concrete and concrete products such as cast stone, concrete brick and concrete blockwork.
BS 8221-2:2000 Code of practice for cleaning and surface repair of buildings. Surface repair of natural stones, brick and terracotta
This British Standard provides recommendations for surface repair of natural stones, clay brick, calcium silicate brick, glazed and unglazed terracotta, and faience masonry in buildings. It covers repointing and selection of mortars, and provides guidance on treatment for protection of surfaces. Surface repairs of concrete and structural repairs are not covered by this code of practice. For guidance on structural repairs, reference should be made to BS 5390 and BS 5628-1.
