This new technology also allowed greater architectural freedom. Post-World War II construction incorporated sealed aluminum and glass facades, or curtain walls. The United Nations Building was the first major post-World War II project to be designed with a curtain wall system and air conditioning. Larger floor cross sections were possible, and interior offices could be created with man-niade environments. 

Many of the building codes used initially in North America were imported from Europe by the early settlers. In 1630, the City of Boston building code stated No man shall build his chimney with wood nor cover his roof with thatch. In 1865, the City of New Orleans adopted an ordinance requiring the inspection of buildings for public use. In 1905 the National Board of Fire Undeiwriters published the first national building code in the United States, the Recommended National Building Code.

Canada has a system that is intermediate between the EU regulatory system (which is intended to be, at least ultimately, based on directives and/or regulations from the EC) and the U.S. system (where codes and standards are both developed by private companies and can be adopted, or not, by the various state and local governments). The National Building Code (NBC) of Canada can be different from provincial building codes, and standards are issued by private companies.

Specific criteria and requirements for means of egress design can be found in local and national building codes as well as in the NFPA 101, Life Safety Code. The Life Safety Code is one of the most widely used standards for means of egress design in the U.S. Means of egress requirements typically entail the following elements ... 

If one is to choose common requirements for flooring, a deflection shall not exceed 1/360 of the span (The BOCA National Building Code/1999, Section 1604.5.4). 

Code Section 1606.1 of the BOCA National Building Code/1999 reqnires the minimum uniformly distributed live load to be 100 Ib/fC for main floors, exterior balconies, and other structural systems. In order to evalnate the related properties of composite decking components, the following are calculations of stress imposed on said components at their flexural failure under superimposed uniformly distributed load. 

Wind design pressure, as specified in Code Section 1609.7 of the BOCA National Building Code/1999, should be calculated as a combination of the windward and leeward wall design pressures. The wind design pressure values in Table 7.51 were calculated for soundwalls of height between 10 and 16 ft, and for 20 ft, for exposure category B (urban and suburban areas). 

The Act also required EPA to work with organizations involved in establishing national building construction standards and techniques and to soKcit public comments to develop model construction standards and techniques for controlling radon levels in new buildings. The Act further required EPA to work to ensure that the model standards and techniques so developed were adopted by the appropriate private and governmental entities. 

Additional items have to be considered the German Model Building Regulations and the National Building Regulations insofar as they contain supplementary requirements on this subject. The standard to be observed... 

There are also several other pile driving formulas such as the Canadian National Building Code formula, the Danish formula, the Gates formula, the Janbu formula, the AASHTO formula, the Navy-McKay formula, and the Pacific Coast Uniform Building Code formula.
