The International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib) publishes an international code for structural concrete, which is a model for national/regional code and the document that provides advanced information for engineers and researchers around the world. fib is now updating its current model code MC2010 to publish MC2020.

 
fib MC2020 takes sustainability as a fundamental requirement, based upon a holistic treatment of societal needs and impacts, life-cycle cost and environmental impacts, with these being aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These overarching requirements will have implications for performance requirements critical to structural design and assessment procedures. fib MC2020 will be the first international structural code for both new and existing concrete structures. Accordingly, it integrates the provisions for the design of new concrete structures and matters relating to existing concrete structures, including situations where new structural members are incorporated as parts of existing structures. This new model code also makes use of the performance-based concept to minimize barriers the appropriate use of novel types of concrete and reinforcing materials.
 

This half-day fully online workshop will be held in the afternoon of 13 March 2023 during the ACF conference . It is jointly hosted by ACF-Shenzhen Universy-The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and fib, the core authors of MC2020 and prestigious Chinese scholars are invited to be the lecturers.
