RE: concrete
Even though it is "normal" construction in some locations, is there really a code that covers that?

The US Navy did some research on the topic years ago. See link for more info.

That might be as good as you're going to get. I don't know of any code that would cover it but I'm here to learn...
RE: concrete
quick google search has a few hits.
Didn't read this one very closely but seems useful. The references listed at the bottom seem useful as well.

RE: concrete
I have seen many organics used in international concrete construction (India, SE Asia, Central America)and they were only posts used to support previously poured slabs on multi-story buildings and removed before they sprouted (usually a week or so to avoid and expansion forces). They never even considered anything but light reinforcement steel in concrete that was available and usable for the long term structure life.
