(OP)
Does anyone know of a way or way around the unit calculations for anything that has to do with squareroot of f'c?

RE: Units in Mathcad

Under the radical multiply f`c by psi.  For example when calculating Ec for concrete I use the following:

     Ec := 57000*sqrt(f`c*psi)

This will give the proper units for use in subsequent
calculations ...

RE: Units in Mathcad

In the functions list (at least in Mathcad 11 I don't know about previous versions) there is a function called
UnitsOf() I had to use it for a function that was raised to a power of 2/3. It solves your problem but it makes the equations look bulky because you divide by it and it actually displays as "UnitsOf(X) in your worksheet.

Wish there was a better way.
