Interesting story from the CBC the other day; it seems that an engineer has designed quite a number of ~4 story apartment buildings (they are going up here like mad), and didn't properly design/detail the slab over the basement garage, which was discovered by a structural engineer brought in to...
I thought this might be worthy of discussion. Last week, a US appeals court ruled in a case involving the ASTM, that codes that are incorporated into law could not be copyrighted. A link to one story is below.

Exhibit A, shall we say, is a 3 way actuated valve, with an ITT tag, I would say of European descent. We have contacted ITT Engineered Valves directly, and nobody there recognizes it.

Wondering also what materials of construction people...
