Abstract:
First building laws were published in Europe and in USA in second half of the nineteen century. The first national building codes were published in England, France, Germany, Austria and USA. Idea of common codes was developed and realised independently in Europe and in USA in different ways. Eurocodes published by CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation, European Committee for Standardization) in Europe and International Codes (which are in fact US codes) published by ICC (International Code Council) in USA are not comparable.
