CRIMINAL penalties for non-permitted buildings!

[Rob Tucker]

My products are all code approved, tested and certified and only one of them uses rebar.

Most every code I've seen had somewhere in it a clause along the line of:

"Nothing in this code shall disallow alternative materials or methods."

That phrase, or something like it, puts the issue squarely in the hands of the local building department. Generally that means the building department will put responsibility on any structural engineer who will sign off on it.
