Getting involved in the fib

You are very welcome to join the fib’s activities in any of the following ways.

Login

As soon as they login, the fib members can access their profile and manage their account easily direclty from the fib network

Membership

fib members receive a variety of benefits that keeps them up-to-date on the latest technical developments related to structural concrete. All fib members receive a subscription to the quarterly Structural Concrete Journal, discounts on symposium registration fees, the fib Directory, and access to the members-only section of the fib website. In addition, depending on their membership category, they receive fib’s technical bulletins (approximately four to five bulletins per year) and/or substantial discounts on their purchase.

Task Groups and Working Parties

One of the fib’s main activities is the publication of technical bulletins: state-of-the-art reports, recommendations, guides and model codes. Ten fib Commissions and several Special Activity Groups (SAG), including several Task Groups, develop and draft these bulletins, which form the cornerstone of fib’s work and are a major contribution to the international knowledge base on structural concrete. Members come from both research and industry, ensuring a balance between theoretical knowledge and relevant practical experience. New members are always welcome.

Commission members should be members of the fib; members of task groups are encouraged but not required to become fib members.

For the list of current commissions, task groups and their working programmes, visit the commissions page.

 

Model Code for Concrete Structures

A central aspect within the mission of the fib is the release of model codes on concrete structures and related subjects. These codes should serve worldwide as the guiding science-based documents offering in a code-type version the state of the art knowledge on the planning, design, construction, execution, operation or in service performance, maintenance, rehabilitation and dismantlement of new and existing concrete structures, respectively. The model codes should meet the latest requirements and technologies in view of aspects related to safety, serviceability, durability, resilience and sustainability of structures, recognizing economic, aesthetic and other needs of different societies.

Model codes

The previous Model Codes draft work editions can be found in our CEB-Bulletins bookshop

SC Journal

Structural Concrete, the official journal of the fib, provides conceptual and procedural guidance in the field of concrete construction and features peer-reviewed papers, keynote research and industry news covering all aspects of the design, construction, performance in service, conservation (assessment, maintenance, strengthening) and demolition of concrete structures, research about the behaviour of concrete structures, development of design methods, fib Model Code, sustainability of concrete structures.

fib Members can Viewer2 the SC Journal issues on the fib website and download them from the fib bookstore, or download them from the Wiley Online Library. PDF articles are published since 2011.

 

Indexed in the Thomson Reuters (ISI) Web of Science since Volume 10 (2009), the journal now has an impact factor of 3.3 and is published six times a year. All members of the fib automatically get the latest issue of Structural Concrete, so the best way to stay informed (as well as the more convenient way to obtain the journal and other advantages) is to become a member of the fib. In order to access to the SC Journal electronically, fib members need to be logged in and follow the steps as per the FAQ.

Every issue of Structural Concrete also includes the fib’s quarterly newsletter, fib-news, which provides up-to-date information from the fib secretariat and the latest news about fib events, members and new publications.

Presented every four years at a fib congress, the award consists of a bronze plaque displayed on the structure itself, along with certificates awarded to the principal contributors.
       
      Nominations are submitted by fib National Delegations and evaluated by a jury appointed by the presidium. Please note that there is no limit to the number of structures a country may endorse.
       
      To submit a structure, please download the guidelines and submission form.
       
      Submission deadline: 27 October 2025.
       
      Registration payment can be made on the fib Shop.

    • Fellows
       
      The fib considers that it is important to recognise fib members that have been active for many years and that have contributed to the goals of the fib.
       
      The fib fellows are elected on the basis of the following criteria:
      • They are current fib members and have been for the last 10 years
      • They have embraced the values of the federation,
      • They have provided continuous outstanding contributions to the development of concrete and concrete structures or to the development of the fib through the participation in Task Groups and Commissions or other means.
       
      The contributions for concrete structures can be in the areas of education, research, design and construction.
       
      The fib fellows will have the following benefits:
      • Being recognised at the fib Symposium or Congress of the year of selection
      • Being listed on the fib website
      • Being invited to incorporate the fib Fellow to his/her signature. The signature designation which will help branding and recognition for a fellow is:
      • "Name Lastname Ffib", to designate a person bestowed with the fib fellow.
       
      For more information, please download the detailed fib Fellows Conditions.
       
      Since the fib does not have, at the time of creation of the program, any fellows the Presidium has decided to designate all past fib Honorary members, fib medalists, Freyssinet medalists and fib Honorary Presidents as fellows of the fib.

    • Young Member Group Award
       
      Scope
      The contest looks at new sustainable, low-cost, time-efficient solutions accounting for lifetime management for:
      • Recycling from waste to rebuild;
      • Assessing damaged structures and infrastructure;
      • Reusing and repairing damaged structures and infrastructure;
      • Shelters, blast-resistant, and special defensive structures;
      • Preventive and innovative structural solutions for natural disasters.
      Solutions combining different materials are eligible but reinforced concrete structures and infrastructure must play a key role for the proposed solutions.
       
      Goals
      The world has witnessed natural disasters and wars that have affected millions of people by leaving behind a trail of destruction and despair. In the aftermath of a disaster, the most urgent needs are to provide shelter, food, water, sanitation, health care, and security to the affected population. However, these needs are often difficult to meet due to the lack of resources and infrastructure.
       
      Therefore, there is a need for innovative solutions that can address the challenges of disaster response and recovery in a time-efficient and low-cost manner. Furthermore, preventing solutions to reduce the impact of future disasters are also important to increase society resilience. These solutions should be able to adapt to different contexts and scenarios, and leverage local capacities and resources.
       
      The aim of this competition is to encourage and reward the development of such solutions by inviting individuals and teams from around the world to present their ideas for the recovery of disaster-broken zones.
