Can anyone point out a good source for sustainability and materials and methods. It felt great on the exam, but something has to be missing. Im floating between 2s and 3s and I have referenced many books that I have. Do the practice exams help?

Thanks, Veenu!

Alland,

Something I can think of right now are,
Pavement Cross sections, look for
-thickness of concrete
-proper placement of filter fabric
-water proofing etc

Stairs
-Riser thread heights or riser tread combined dimensions
-Handrail height, end handrail wrap up

Gaurdrails- spacing between rails, height, minimum requirement of gaurd…[Read more]

any idea what may be some of the flaws in the construction cross sections?
steps, hardscaping, retaining walls, etc?

Great, thanks for the help!

I think I’m going to buy the LaGro book to start with and try to get the other ones through interlibrary loan (which never even occurred to me at first).

I would eventually like to buy all of them, but that’s almost $600 for all the books (used), exam fee, and study guides, so that’ll have to wait.

The test had questions from all four books. I think the Site Analysis by LaGro would be the most important followed by the Booth and Russ books. I suggest you read them all though if you are serious about passing the exam. They are great books to have in your library for referencing throughout your career so make the investment if you can. Als…[Read more]

Jessica, you should be able to get all these books at your local library through interlibrary loan.

Jessica,

I have Site Analysis, and Site Planning & Design Handbook. I read both of them, but only skimmed the Site Planning book. Definitely read Site Analysis and get the PPI study material, and maybe the CLARB practice test. That is what got me to pass this time.

Hello all.. Any plant buffs out there have experience with Panicum virgatum ‘heavy metal’ or ‘Northwind’ in the SF bay area? Based on the zone specs it should be fine but my broker hasn’t sold too many of them and couldn’t comment on how they perform in the area… any help would be appreciated.

Tad, I don’t know why Russ would write it as 1:4. That’s not the “conventional” way of doing it.

Tad Hansen posted an update in the group LARE Multiple Choice Discussion 14 years, 9 months ago

Ray and everyone,

I am taking B here shortly but I have a lingering question about the slope steepness ratio method. Norman Booth is writing it horizontal first, verical second 4:1(Basic Elements of Landscape Architectural Design, page 31). Thomas Russ is writing it in reverse 1:4 (Site Planning and Design, Page 125) Is there a reason why the…[Read more]

Hi All!
I’d like to offer you an irrigation tube, which is to be digged under the plant/grass into soil (20 cm). Tube will ‘sweaten’ the water through porous surface and feed water to root system. Absolutely easy and water saving!!
Please feel free to contact me for support!

Oohh yes, remember the 7200 PowerMac I had sitting in the LA studio? Maybe not. But, I donated it in 2005 while living in Las Vegas. It finally became to slow for internet use and I maxed out on RAM and hard drive storage for it. Those were some great times, in school, huh? Work on projects with no budgets and endless time spent on it. Too bad it…[Read more]

Oh, Robert, still the Mac Man! What happened to San Diego?

Scott Lebsack posted an update in the group UILA 14 years, 9 months ago

How are you all fairing? Running on my 3rd week of unemployment today. hoping to go back in the next month, but who knows?

mauiBob posted an update in the group UILA 14 years, 9 months ago

Aloha! Unfortunately, I haven’t been back to Moscow since leaving in December 1998. I heard about all the changes on campus via my weekly Vandal email report. I lived in the LA studio, library and Art department’s McIntosh computer lab. Those PowerMacs were awesome!
