The fib has ten commissions, each with corresponding task groups and working parties, grouped into four principle areas of activity: planning and execution, materials and production, sustainability and durability, and education and publications.
You are welcome to join us and participate in fib commissions and task groups.

The 41 national groups, also referred to as statutory members, form the foundation of the fib. These groups act as important forums for expertise, technical advances and information sharing in their respective countries among participants from government, academia, institutes and industry who are active in the field of civil engineering, concrete construction and concrete materials and technology.
National groups may be composed of one or more existing national associations or may be an independent group of various entities active in the field. Every national group is represented in the general assembly by its national delegation, made up of its nominated delegates and their designated deputies.
Statutory membership benefits
Only national groups have voting rights in the general assembly;
Only countries with an fib national group can host fib congresses and symposia;
National groups are entitled to have their events co-sponsored by the fib;
Delegates and deputies representing the national groups are considered individual members and are entitled to the associated benefits;
National groups can nominate candidates for fibawards.
Statutory membership subscription rates
Subscription rates vary and the level chosen will determine the influence an NMG has in the general assembly, based on the number of votes each rate category allocates. All national groups have one vote in the technical council.
The International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib)
The fib, Fédération internationale du béton, is a not-for-profit association formed by 42 national member groups and approximately 2'500 corporate and individual members in more than 100 countries. The fib’s mission is to develop at an international level the study of scientific and practical matters capable of advancing the technical, economic, aesthetic and environmental performance of concrete construction.
The knowledge developed and shared by the fib (fib Bulletins, fib events, fib workshops, fib courses, etc.) is entirely the result of the volunteer work provided by the fib members.
The fib was formed in 1998 by the merger of the Euro-International Committee for Concrete (the CEB) and the International Federation for Pre-stressing (the FIP). These predecessor organizations existed independently since 1953 and 1952, respectively.
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.
The fib is proud to celebrate its President, Íria Doniak, who was recognised with the “International Highlight” award at the 2025 Quality Award ceremony in São Paulo.
