Concrete Design reference book based on ACI 318 Metric
(OP)
Anyone aware of reference book on Concrete Design based on ACI 318 Metric version. I am trained in US customary units but will be involved in a project that will use SI system of units. So, looking for some examples in metric version to get confortable with the units. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

When you're going back and forth between units, keep an eye on SQRT(f'c). It's often not dimensionally consistent. It's complicated a number of my favourite MathCAD worksheets.

Any idea if they offer a similar book for concrete masonry? I looked on their website but didn't see one. Or does anyone have a recommendation for such? (Attempted thread highjack underway.)

Thanks for the response. But, I couldn't find any mention of metric version of PCA notes on ACI 318 anywhere on www.concrete.org. Appreciate if you can provide like to the metric version you indicated earlier. Thanks.

Ingenuity, thanks for pointing the typo.

The biggest issue will be conversion to the local formwork measures, concrete characteristics, and rebar sizes, grades, and characteristics. For instance, in some places, rebar grades (yield strengths) are middle of the normal distribution rather than the minimum yields used in the US.
