This category tests bridge load determination and distribution using AASHTO-based criteria. Tasks focus on converting bridge geometry, loading conditions, and design parameters into member forces, reactions, moments, and resistance checks.

This category tests building-level gravity, wind, and seismic load application. Tasks focus on selecting the controlling code provisions, distributing loads through diaphragms and vertical elements, and identifying governing design effects.

This category tests practical connection design across steel, cold-formed steel, timber, and related details. Tasks focus on load transfer, fastener or weld capacity, detailing choices, and limit states that govern connection adequacy.

This category tests foundational structural mechanics without relying on code lookup. Tasks focus on equilibrium, force resolution, section properties, reactions, and shear or moment behavior from text-only geometry.

This category tests environmental load calculations for wind, snow, and ice effects. Tasks focus on applying stated site, exposure, geometry, and occupancy parameters to determine localized pressures or line loads.

This category tests foundation and geotechnical load transfer checks. Tasks focus on bearing, pile capacity, pile group behavior, footing moments, and construction inspection requirements from stated soil and foundation conditions.

This category tests concrete member design and detailing. Tasks focus on strength, serviceability, anchorage, shear, moment magnification, strut-and-tie behavior, and reinforcement requirements using stated section and material data.

This category tests masonry member design and detailing. Tasks focus on CMU walls, lintels, anchors, lap splices, shear wall reinforcement, and out-of-plane behavior under stated TMS-based criteria.

This category tests steel and cold-formed steel member design. Tasks focus on member selection, flexural strength, tensile strength, base plates, seismic detailing, staged construction effects, and governing limit states.

This category tests timber member and diaphragm design. Tasks focus on wood column stability, glulam deflection including load-duration effects, and wood structural panel diaphragm capacity.

This category tests protective design, crowd flow, and related life-safety calculations for buildings, venues, and infrastructure.

This category tests lateral earth pressure and retaining wall response. Tasks focus on surcharge effects, seismic active pressure, basement wall reactions, and basic stability checks from stated soil and wall conditions.

This category tests structural analysis reasoning from text-only descriptions. Tasks focus on deflected shapes, influence lines, approximate frame analysis, indeterminate beam reactions, moment diagrams, and deformation components.
