About shear limit curve

Dear all,

I'm working on the limit state analysis. It seems sensitive about the unit.

In the manual (http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/image ... Manual.pdf), it offers limit curve equations for SI & US unit.

But i look into the shear limit curve source code (http://opensees.berkeley.edu/WebSVN/fil ... rCurve.cpp), it seems using in US unit about theshear limit curve equation.

Does the limit state material parameters should use in US unit (psi)? Or i can input them in SI unit?

Thanks.
