SAG on Sustainability | call for case studies
The fib Special Activity Group on Sustainability is developing a new fib Bulletin focused on documenting best practices for sustainability within structural concrete applications. This publication is designed to become a comprehensive resource that rigorously blends the latest research advancements with documented real-world applications.
Share Your Expertise and Advance the Global Knowledge Base
We invite you to contribute concise 2- to 4-page case descriptions of projects, research findings, or innovative methods. This minimal effort offers maximum impact by integrating your national expertise into a globally citable resource.
The Bulletin will cover a wide and critical range of topics, including, but not limited to:
- Low-carbon Concrete Mixtures
- Non-traditional Reinforcing Materials
- High-Performance Concrete and Reinforcing Materials
- Design Optimisation
- Recycling and Reuse Practices
- Sustainable Life Cycle Management (LCM), Maintenance, Renovation, and Adaptation Practices
- Sustainable Production and Construction Technologies
- CO2 Capture & Sequestration
Key Benefits for Your Contribution
- Citable Authority: Each chapter will receive its own DOI, ensuring your contribution is easily locatable and citable within the global academic and professional community.
- Comprehensive Resource: Help shape a resource that will directly inform future research, standards, and educational content.
- Network Visibility: Connect with practitioners and researchers across the international fib network.
Submission Details
- Template: A case description template and example are available to guide you, requiring minimal effort to prepare the content.
- Brevity: Given the concise 2-4 page limit, please refer readers to external websites, research papers, and background documents for greater detail.
- References: When compiling the final section, please organize references into two distinct lists: one for standards, guidelines, etc., and another for other literature.
Deadline for Topic Submission (Intent to Contribute): October 30th, 2025
Deadline for Case Descriptions: November 30th, 2025 (Adjustments possible for valuable contributions).
For more information or to submit your case, please contact the fib through the contact form, indicating “SAG on Sustainability | Call for Case Studies” in the subject line.
