SI Units

This document provides conversion factors for converting between SI units commonly used in structural and foundation engineering and US customary units. Some key conversions included are: 1 MPa = 145 psi; f'c of 21 MPa = 3000 psi; fy of 280 MPa = 40,000 psi. The conversions are taken from a table in the 5th edition of the textbook "Foundation Analysis and Design" by Joseph E. Bowles.
