The Effect of Metrication on Building Codes and Standards
The chapter contains an analysis of major metric conversion issues relating to U.S. building standards and codes, with special emphasis on the need for proper planning and coordination. Among technical issues in the change, both the selection of correct SI units, and the consideration of dimensional coordination in the selection of new and preferred metric dimensions are stressed. International progress in standardization and in the harmonization of building regulations is addressed.
