HI, JOHN
MY NAME IS EDWARD; I'M A STRUCTURAL BRASILIAN ENGINEER. I HAVE BEEN WORKING
IN THE AREA SINCE 1975, IN BOTH CONCRETE AND STEEL. SINCE I'M INTERESTED IN
WORKING IN USA, I THINK THAT IS A GOOD OPORTUNITY TO CHANGE INFORMATIONS. I
WILL BE AT YOUR SERVICE IN ORDER TO EXPLAIN ANY QUESTION ABOUT BRASILIANS
CODES AND OTHER THINGS, IF NECESSARY.  WE HERE HAVE OUR OWN CODE CALLED
"ABNT" BRASILIAN ASSOCIATION OF TECHNICAL NORMS. IT IS QUITE DIFFERENT OF
ACI.  IN CONCRETE WE ARE MORE NEAR TO EUROCODE, THE EUROPEAN CODE.
MY E-MAIL IS jedward(--nospam--at)uol.com.br
PS. BRASIL HAS "S" INSTEAD OF "Z" BECAUSE IN PORTUGUESE WHEN THE CONSONANT
S  IS IN BETWEEN  TWO VOWELS, IT SOUNDS "Z"
