In the field of building and building structures, there are many national and international codes and standards for the design, construction and maintenance of structures that are used to create quality and safety in building structures. Some of these codes and standards are:
National Building Code: The National Building Code, or NBC, is used in Canada and the United States for the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings.
ACI standard: This standard is used for the design, construction and maintenance of concrete structures in the United States.
AISC standard: This standard is used for the design and construction of steel structures in America.
ASCE standard: This standard is used in the field of design and construction of building structures in America.
ASTM standard: This standard is used in the field of construction material specifications and their testing.
BS standard: This standard is used in the UK for the design and construction of building structures and building materials.
EN standard: This standard is used in Europe for the design, construction and maintenance of building structures and building materials.
ISO standard: This international standard for design and construction
Some of the building codes and standards are:
1 National Building Code of Canada 2 National Building Code of India 3 National Building Code of the Philippines 4 National Building Code of the Philippines 5 National Building Code (National Building Code of the United States) 6 American Reinforced Concrete Design Standard (ACI 318) 7 American Steel Design Standard (AISC 360)
These codes and standards define the conditions and regulations that must be followed for the design, construction and maintenance of structures. For example, the US National Building Code defines conditions for the design and construction of structures such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, etc. Also, standards such as ACI 318 and AISC 360 specify design requirements for concrete and steel structures and define regulations for the use of materials and construction methods.
