In AWS D1.1 under 2.24.2.5 they give an equation for converting primary moment to additional axial load.

P = M / (JD sin(web angle))

My question: If I want to work in kips, is M supposed to be in in-kips or ft-kips?

Recommended for you

just match all the units of the numerator (M) with those in the denominator (JD) and you will get the same answer in kips whether you uses in-kips and inches or ft-kips and ft.
