The International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib - fédération internationale du béton) is a non-profit organisation created in 1998 from the merger of the Euro-International Concrete Committee (CEB - Comité Euro-International du Béton) and the International Federation for Prestressing (FIP - Fédération Internationale de la Précontrainte). The parent organisations CEB and FIP existed independently since 1952, a brief history of both associations can be found below. The secretariat in Lausanne is presented here.
