Codes and Regulations for Structural Design 2

[Hamid Mahdavi]

Hi all,
I'm looking for information about codes and regulations that govern the structural design process across the world. I have 2 main questions:
1- Which countries have adopted US codes (e.g., ACI and AISC) for structural design purposes?
2- Which codes have produced US-based in structural design (i.e. based on ACI or AISC)?
Thanks in advance.

That's a question without an easy answer. Can you narrow down the focus from around the world to anything more specific?

Thailand and Myanmar use US codes or codes based on US codes.
Vietnam, China, Japan, Korea, India, Australia have their own codes. I don't know for sure, but suspect IS and AS are related to the old BS british codes (at least the naming convention seems that way).
Many parts of the developing world have an official national code, but locally funded projects may or may not have those enforced, and internationally funded projects are often built to the code of the sponsor/donor nationality.
Where I live (Cambodia) has no code. Wild west... yeehaw!

Mexico has their own codes, some of which are based on US codes.
Chile, uses US codes.
Saudi Arabia has their own codes which are based on US codes.
