Metric version of ASD Steel Manual Formulae

Metric version of ASD Steel Manual Formulae

(OP)
Does anyone have a reference document giving the metric equivalent of the design equations used in the ASD Manual of Steel Construction?

RE: Metric version of ASD Steel Manual Formulae

That's a better question than I thought it would be.  There was a metric version of an earlier Manual but I can't find one for the current edition.

RE: Metric version of ASD Steel Manual Formulae

The new thirteenth edition has metric equivalents.

RE: Metric version of ASD Steel Manual Formulae

As graybeach said, the 13th Ed. is dual english/metric units.  The majority of the terms have been written in such a form that they can be applied to both english and metric problems (for instance the slenderness ratios are all written in terms of sqrt(E/Fy) so that the units cancel).
