North American unit system and regulations
North American unit system and regulations
(OP)
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: sacramentosk8@hotmail.com






RE: North American unit system and regulations
Canada has a National Building Code and each locality will have extensions to it. I'm not sure how you get a copy of that. I'd suggest contacting the government of the province in which the building will be built. The Canadian Institute of Steel Construction provides standards for steel. Their head office is at:
CISC
201 Consumers Road, Suite 300
Willowdale, ON, M2J 4G8.
