Bond and anchorage of embedded reinforcement: Background to the fib Model Code for Concerete Structures 2010
fib Task Group 4.5 Bond Models undertook a major review of the rules for bond and anchorage of reinforcement in the CEB-FIP Model Code 1990 as part of its preparation for the fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 (fib MC2010). This bulletin is the outcome of that review. Its purpose is to describe the background to the rules proposed for fib MC2010, to record the source data employed in their validation as well as the assumptions made in derivation of the new proposals. It aims both to assist specialist users to understand the rules and to record the basis of the underlying physical model for the benefit of future revision committees.

New Impact Factor rating for Structural Concrete journal
The fib’s peer-reviewed journal - Structural Concrete - now has an impact factor of 0.857. The factor has more than doubled since the last time the fib reported an impact factor score of 0.289 in June 2013. The journal publishes papers covering all aspects of the design, construction, performance in service, strengthening and demolition of concrete structures, including papers on research into the behaviour of structures and the development of design methods. All papers are subjected to rigorous peer review; the current average submission-to-acceptance time is 78 days.

Structural Design of Tall Buildings conference
The early bird registration fee for the Structural Design of Tall Buildings conference, to be held on Thursday 23 October 2014 at the Hilton London Tower Bridge, ends Thursday 31 July 2014.
The Concrete Centre and fibUK are partnering for a conference on the structural design of tall buildings using concrete, taking place in London on 23 October 2014. The event will feature the latest best practice on building dynamics, design, process, wind load, seismic loads as well as consideration for the design team such as lifts, cladding, services, foundations, structural systems and buildability. The conference dinner on Wednesday 22 October will provide a unique networking opportunities for delegates and speakers.
For more information, visit the conference website.Second international workshop on FRC
The second FRC International Workshop (and first joint ACI-fib workshop), on "Fibre reinforced concrete: from design to structural applications", will take place on 24 and 25 July 2014 in Montreal, Canada
The aim of the workshop is to present the state-of-the-art and recent worldwide developments related to fibre reinforced concrete structures. Presentations of case studies will focus both on structural design and on the description of applications such as beams, elevated floors, tunnel linings, slabs, pavements, precast elements, bridges and other applications.
Registration is open until 11 July 2014. To register and for further information, visit http://www.polymtl.ca/frc2014/en/index.php
