Brazilian Building Code?
Brazilian Building Code?
(OP)
My firm is working on a proposal for a power plant to be built in Brazil. I am having trouble finding applicable Brazilian Codes, especially in English. Does Brazil follow any international standard like IBC (International Building Code)? Is their building code based off of Eurocode like I have heard? Brazil's code's can be purchased from www.ABNT.org but it's in Portuguese and I can't find the applicable code and when I do, it's in Portuguese. Any suggestions?

I think the is a local chapter of ACI. As far as the other materials and standards, my experience was definitely acceptance toward the similar American codes that were adopted by reference.
The project documents or any proposals should list the required standards to be referenced.
