OK, thanks BAretired and csd72!
"Handy" is the key.
Now, in the Arcelor sheet pile manual, section properties are given in cm^2, cm^3 and cm^4! And they have a beautiful example where moment in N-m/MPa = cm^3. It's almost supernatural; moment is "converted" from kN to NX10^3 yet allowable...
If this has been answered, my apologies and thanks for pointing me to the right forum.
Find the area, given the allowable shear stress and load, A = Vfv. Find the section modulus, given the allowable bending stress and moment... and so on.
It's pretty easy if my forces are in Newtons and...
I am being tasked with designing a reinforced concrete wall. A round pipe of diameter 36" will pass through this wall. My boss (PE) told me (graduated in 2003 with BS) to add #5's at 45 degree angles abou the perimeter of the 36" opening. I asked other engineers in the office and they told me it...
