I'd say this is great suggestion. I'm willing to (help) organize the Codes, Manual & Handbook subsection of the forum. As always you can count me in to organize this section to be easier for use.
I like suggestion made by mecheil.edwar, but there is a catch - Eurocodes, EN and BS are similar publications. Look here:
so I suggest title like "Eurocodes (British Standards and European Norms')".
And maybe it would be better not to have subsections (as described above):
Codes
Manuals
Handbooks
Let it be just:
AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials)
ACI (American Concrete Institute)
ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers)
ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)
Australian Codes
Eurocodes (British Standards and European Norms')
Chinese Codes
CSA (Canadian Standards Association)
CISC (Canadian Institute of Steel Construction)
FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency)
IBC (International Building Code)
Indian Codes
IRC (International Residential Code)
UBC (Uniform Building Code)
Other
I suggest that those full titles in brackets be placed below each abbreviation as a description e.g.
FEMA
(Federal Emergency Management Agency)
All suggestions are welcome.
Best regards to all
