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”).
Are you passionate about sustainability in structural concrete?
The fib Technical Council reviewed developments across its Commissions and approved a number of important updates and new initiatives during its June 2025 meeting in Antibes.
Every four years, the global concrete community unites to celebrate the innovation, creativity, and excellence that define the fib Award for Outstanding Concrete Structures (AOS). Established in 1998, this prestigious competition has become a global stage for recognising the most remarkable achievements in structural design and engineering with concrete.
