Did you know: Construction regulations can be traced through recorded history for over 4000 years. The Babylonian King Hammurabi, in 2000 BC instituted a performance-type code which was based on the simple principle of "an eye for an eye", where the Builder was responsible "in kind" for any damages that occurred due to the failure of the structure. If the Building owner died as a result of a collapse, then the Builder would be killed as restitution. If the Building owner lost an arm as a result of collapse, then the Builder would sacrifice his arm. Sabian que: Las regulaciones de construccion datan desde hace mucho... en tiempos de El Rey Hammurabi se instuciono la regla de "Ojo por Ojo, Diente por diente" El constructor era responsable de cualquier falla en la construccion...si el dueño del edificio moria por culpa de un derrumbe, pues el constructor tendria que morir como restituto....si el dueño perdia un brazo... el constructor perdia su brazo tambien... — feeling amused & Informative.
