Are there any codes governing construction of buildings or other structures using fiber reinforced structural shapes?

ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section X - Design and Construction of Fiber Reinforced Plastic Pressure Vessels
For Repair -refer to the 2004 Edition of the NBIC

Thanks for the quick response; unfortunately, that is the Code with which I am familiar. The codes that I am interested in would govern construction of buildings, bridges, cooling towers, tank supports, etc.

In structures there is not a great deal of information as of yet to really have a standard design code. The ACI has several publications concerning the use of FRP bars for reinforced concrete also, but I don't think they have made it to being called "codes" yet either.
