No. Check out 310.7 Direct-Burial Conductors shall be of type identified for such use. Also read 310.8 for THWN uses. If your looking for underground feeders and branch circuits without a raceway read article 340. If your looking for Direct-Burial Service Conductors read 338 for USE. If you use any of these you should also read 300.5.
 
you can as a grounding electrode conductor :smile:
but I doubt that is what you mean.
As part of a wiring system, 300.3 requires you to use condcutors listed in 310.13(A) (such as THWN) with a Chapt 3 wiring method.
THWN is not listed for direct burial.

Welcome to the forum!! You have come to the right place. Were are you located? Alot of us are on the 2008 NEC. And yes I would also agree, read 300.3 (A). I'm sure I have missed others but its a start.
