Civil Engineering Units
• Lots of imperial units..
• The kip? kip = kilopound = 1000 lb
• The psf? a pound per square foot
– say you weigh 150 lb and are standing on a part of the floor which is 1ft x 1ft, you are = 150psf
– other way – say a constant wind of 40 psf is blowing on a building which is 100ft x 100ft across – the force is 40psf X 100ft X 100ft = 40,000 lb
– 40,000 lb = 40 kips
• Also… psi and ksi, pound/sq. in, and kip/sq. in
– Materials may be described as having limit stresses in psi or ksi, e.g., typical yield stress of steel = 50 ksi

Load PathAll forces or loads must eventually get to the ground.
Can we trace the path of tension of compression?
