English term

ksi

English to French Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
"Use min. grade 400 (60 ksi) yield strength deformed rebar placed in accordance with manual of standard practice"

ksi stands for "Kilo-pound per square inch" and seems to remain the same in French based on my research, but I wonder if there is a French equivalent.

Thanks for the help!

N/mm² or MPa

The stress in concrete is measured as pressure, the units used in the ISO standards are MPa or Newtons by square millimeters.

The chapter "resistance" on the wiki for concrete is pretty good

French Mean=livre par pouce carré
Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : To start with, this isn't PSI, but KSI; and is there really any sense in simply translating the name of the unit, rather than converting into metric units?
