The fib Symposium in Antibes will boast a number of interesting special sessions over the course of the conference. Special sessions focus on emerging trends and key areas in concrete and structural engineering. These include thematic discussions on topics like sustainable solutions, innovative materials, and concrete for extreme environments. Workshops, panel discussions, and keynote sessions offer opportunities for in-depth exploration and collaboration. Additionally, industry-focused sessions highlight real-world applications and advancements, fostering dialogue between experts, practitioners, and researchers. The full list of special sessions is available online.
Sponsoring the fib Symposium 2025 in Antibes provides an exceptional opportunity to showcase your organisation to a diverse international audience, including engineers, architects, researchers, consultants, contractors, and students involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of bridges and structures. The sponsorship options are available in Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze categories, each offering tailored benefits designed to enhance your organisation’s visibility and recognition during the event. Additional sponsorship opportunities include conference handouts prominently featuring your organisation’s logo, such as lanyards, digital proceedings, conference bags, and the conference app. Sponsorships for special events and meals are also available.
The course aims to demystify the calculation of UHPFRC structures and give designers all the tools to design innovative alternative solutions that fully use UHPFRC performance. After a brief history of UHPFRC development and an overview of recent innovative structures, the course will recall the basic principles of characterization and behaviour of fibre-reinforced concrete. These principles allow us to explain the behaviour of UHPFRC and provide very simple first tools for safely pre-dimensioning UHPFRC structures.
