My knowledge says there is no specific code for underground home, the building must be able to withstand all the loads imposed on it.
If it is to be a residence then it need to meet all the applicable International Residential Codes as modified by the local jurisdictions.

Okay thank you. I dont know codes by heart. If I could attach some pictures I could explain a little better.

First you need to know what code is used where you are building this. Then you can find it on the internet.

Most codes for 1 and 2 family residential construction offer prescriptive requirements for common house building materials and methods, which competent builders can meet; and they offer performance requirements which usually require a registered design professional to design and engineer. It feels like underground and fibreglass is definitely in the performance category. I don't think you'll do one prescriptive codes for it.
