north american unit system and regulations
i am a structural engineer from portugal. i am looking for information on: 1. us and canada most used units system besides the international system (s.i.); 2. canadian regulations for construction: reinforced concrete and steel structures. can someone indicate me where i can download a copy of those regulations? and can someone get in touch with me to inform me of the units system? my e-mail:
canada uses si. the us uses the old english system of foot as the base unit for length and pound for force. be warned that there are many different sub- and super-units. for example, inch is the subunit of foot and yard and mile are super units. most us textbooks will have the conversions (as the world is trying to, unsuccessfully, convert us to si) or you can download any of the unit conversion utilities from at
thank you very much imagineer. in case you need any information from the european community go ahead.
