Apply for membership
fib members come from all facets of civil engineering, including academia, design engineering and the industrial and scientific world. The fib offers multiple categories and membership levels, which allow national groups, corporations, associations, universities and individuals to take advantage of membership benefits at a level commensurate with their budget and needs.
The fib is structured as a federation, which now includes 45 member countries (also known as statutory members) representing all the continents. Please visit our National Groups page for information on joining as a statutory member. The organisation also has approximately 1000 corporate and individual members from around the world.
fib membership is valid for the current calendar year, starting in January and ending in December. If you are a first-time members applying in the last months of the year, please contact the fib Secretariat to clarify whether the membership application is for the current year or for the following year.
Commissions
The fib has ten commissions, each with corresponding task groups and working parties, grouped into four principle areas of activity: planning and execution, materials and production, sustainability and durability, and education and publications.
You are welcome to join us and participate in fib commissions and task groups.

National groups
The 41 national groups, also referred to as statutory members, form the foundation of the fib. These groups act as important forums for expertise, technical advances and information sharing in their respective countries among participants from government, academia, institutes and industry who are active in the field of civil engineering, concrete construction and concrete materials and technology.
National groups may be composed of one or more existing national associations or may be an independent group of various entities active in the field. Every national group is represented in the general assembly by its national delegation, made up of its nominated delegates and their designated deputies.
Statutory membership benefits
- Only national groups have voting rights in the general assembly;
- Only countries with an fib national group can host fib congresses and symposia;
- National groups are entitled to have their events co-sponsored by the fib;
- Delegates and deputies representing the national groups are considered individual members and are entitled to the associated benefits;
- National groups can nominate candidates for fib awards.
Statutory membership subscription rates
Subscription rates vary and the level chosen will determine the influence an NMG has in the general assembly, based on the number of votes each rate category allocates. All national groups have one vote in the technical council.

Federation
The International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib)
The fib, Fédération internationale du béton, is a not-for-profit association formed by 42 national member groups and approximately 2'500 corporate and individual members in more than 100 countries. The fib’s mission is to develop at an international level the study of scientific and practical matters capable of advancing the technical, economic, aesthetic and environmental performance of concrete construction.
The knowledge developed and shared by the fib (fib Bulletins, fib events, fib workshops, fib courses, etc.) is entirely the result of the volunteer work provided by the fib members.
The fib was formed in 1998 by the merger of the Euro-International Committee for Concrete (the CEB) and the International Federation for Pre-stressing (the FIP). These predecessor organizations existed independently since 1953 and 1952, respectively.
