Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are transforming the way we design, construct, and maintain concrete structures. The fib Special Activity Group 2 (SAG2) explores how these technologies can enhance efficiency, sustainability, and resilience in structural concrete engineering — while ensuring ethical integrity and human oversight remain at the core of engineering practice.

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.

fib members Stijn Matthys (Ghent University, coordinator of CARBCOMN), Enzo Martinelli (TESIS), Christoph Czaderski (EMPA), Thanasis Triantafillou and Corina Papanikolaou (University of Patras), and Julien Michels (re-fer) played a key role in the CARBCOMN project (“CARBon-negative COMpression dominant structures for decarbonized and deconstructable CONcrete buildings”).
