We see concrete every day in bridges, towers, homes, and highways. However, have you ever wondered what lies behind every resilient structure? It is a story of science, collaboration, and vision. That’s why concrete needs pioneers—leaders who don’t just see it as a material, but as the backbone of modern life. This is where fib, the International Federation for Structural Concrete, has played a defining role for decades.
Founded by 40+ national member groups and representing 2,500 professionals across 100+ countries, fib was created to advance the technical, economic, aesthetic, and environmental performance of concrete construction. Its commissions and special activity groups focus on planning, execution, materials, sustainability, durability, and education. They ensure that concrete evolves with the needs of society.
fib’s internationally recognized Model Codes are comprehensive design guidelines for both new and existing structures. Alongside these, fib produces expert bulletins, technical reports, and the Design & Construction series, which highlight practical projects worldwide. Publications such as the fib Model Code 2020 and bulletins on durability, sustainability, and composite structures provide engineers with frameworks that shape skylines and extend the life of concrete infrastructure.
fib is also pioneering harmonized open-access databases to support model calibrations and international standards, ensuring transparency and collaboration across research teams. Awards such as the Outstanding Concrete Structures Award and the Achievement Award for Young Engineers, institutionalized by fib, recognize excellence and inspire the next generation.
Now, with BSB Edge partnering with fib, this wealth of knowledge becomes more accessible than ever. Through this collaboration, BSB Edge aims to enable organizations to access and apply fib’s guidance across design, durability, sustainability, strengthening, and best practices—bringing global expertise directly into local projects.
