CELE Steel & Timber Design — Steel Compression MembersFlash Cards
If you only have 15 minutes a day for Steel Compression Members in the lead-up to the CELE, spend them on these flashcards. PRC rewards reviewers who can recall a fact without a cue — that's what flashcards train, and this deck is built around exactly the cues CELE papers usually supply.
Exam context
Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) — Board of Civil Engineering runs the Civil Engineer Licensure Examination on May and November 2026. Its Steel & Timber Design section sits under a "Core" weighting, and Steel Compression Members is the 2nd chapter in the 5-chapter CELE Steel & Timber Design rotation. The CELE passing mark is 70% weighted average, no sub-test below 50%, and the most recent 2026 paper drew about a meaningful share of questions from Steel & Timber Design.
