The fib-CH Betontag brought together the Swiss concrete community for a day of presentations and exchange. Among the speakers, we were glad to welcome several members of the fib community.

fib Secretary General David Fernández-Ordóñez gave a presentation on fib.

fib member Dr. Philippe Ménetrey presented “ Réfection du Grand-Pont à Lausanne”.

Prof. Aurelio Muttoni, recipient of the fib Freyssinet Medal, and Dr. João Simões, convener of fib TG 2.2 “Ultimate limit state models,” presented “Mise en conformité du parking de la Riponne, Lausanne.”

Prof. Walter Kaufmann, recipient of the fib Medal of Merit, spoke on “Betonbau und Netto-Null: Widerspruch oder Chance?”, asking whether concrete construction and net zero can go together.

Thank you to all speakers and participants for the contributions and discussions!

𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁, 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲?

A bridge is more than a connection between two places. It is part of the public realm, shaping how people experience and interact with their surroundings.

At fib Symposium 2027 in Dresden, Bart Halaczek, Director at Knight Architects, will explore this human-centered perspective in his keynote:

“Humans first, machines second – user experience as a driving factor in the design of our infrastructure”

With more than 20 years of experience at the intersection of architecture and civil engineering, Bart brings a multidisciplinary perspective to bridge design. He has led projects ranging from urban footbridges to motorway and rail crossings, including the Kienlesberg Bridge in Ulm, the Küstrin-Kietz Oder rail crossing, the Offenbachstraße Nord footbridge in Munich and the Drammen City Bridge in Norway.

His approach is grounded in a clear conviction: public acceptance begins by putting people at the center of the design process. Early collaboration across disciplines is essential to creating infrastructure that is not only functional, but also inclusive, sensitive to its cultural context and environmentally responsible.

His design philosophy? “Beautiful ordinary” timeless structures that combine simplicity and elegance.

Join us in Dresden to explore what it means to put people first in infrastructure design.

📣 Call for Abstracts Extended — New Deadline: 31 October 2026

The abstract submission deadline for the 5th International fib Symposium on Conceptual Design of Concrete Structures has been extended to 31 October 2026.

We invite researchers, practising engineers and architects to share their research, projects and experiences across the symposium’s three main topics:

• Conceptual design for existing structures
• Conceptual design with new materials and advanced production techniques
• Conceptual design to satisfy multi-purpose social needs

Join us to exchange ideas and discuss how conceptual design can respond to the challenges facing our built environment.

📝 New abstract deadline: 31 October 2026
📅 Symposium: 6–8 September 2027
📍 Lecco – Lake Como, Italy

Join us for the fib ICCS 2028, which will take place from 19 to 23 September 2028 in Seoul, South Korea.

The aim of the conference is to bring together engineers, researchers, academics, producers, investors and developers to exchange and discuss their innovative approaches and ideas focused on sustainable concrete structures and their contribution to sustainable development goals. The conference topics include design and assessment, advanced materials, modelling and analyses, durability, life cycle design, through-life management and care, resilience, dismantlement, reuse and recycling, innovation in buildings and civil structures, and case studies.

fib ICCS 2028 will be hosted by the Korea Concrete Institute, bringing together researchers, engineers, and professionals from around the world to advance the science, design, and application of sustainable concrete. With a strong emphasis on low-carbon technologies, durability, life-cycle assessment, and digital innovation, fib ICCS 2028 will serve as a platform to shape the future of resilient and sustainable built environments.

Missed the live session? The replay of the RYC–fib peer-to-peer webinar on “3D Concrete Printing; from active magnetorheology control to structural behaviour of 3DCP ties”

This session included two presentations:
Dr Yiyuan Zhang (Magnel-Vandepitte Laboratory for Structural Engineering and Building Materials, Ghent University, Belgium) on “Active magnetorheology control of cementitious materials for 3D printing”
Dr Lucia Licciardello (Chair of Concrete Structures and Bridge Design, Institute of Structural Engineering (IBK), ETH Zurich, Switzerland) on “Experimental and analytical investigations on the structural behaviour of 3D printed concrete”

What should we do when prestressed concrete bridges reach the end of their service life? Replace them — or find new ways to rehabilitate and extend their life?

At fib Symposium 2027 in Dresden, Prof. Emeritus Dr. Hiroshi Mutsuyoshi will explore this question in his keynote:

“Replacement or rehabilitation of deteriorated prestressed concrete bridges?”

Dr. Mutsuyoshi is Professor Emeritus at Saitama University, Japan. His research spans prestressed concrete bridges, earthquake engineering for reinforced concrete structures, new materials for concrete structures, and the rehabilitation of existing concrete structures.

With decades of expertise in concrete structures and infrastructure, he brings an international perspective to one of the key questions facing the future of our existing bridge stock.

The ACI-fib-RILEM FRC-UHPFRC Workshop 2026 took place on 28–30 September 2026 at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), Hungary. The workshop is a collaboration between ACI, fib and RILEM, aimed at harmonising design rules and jointly developing future code specifications for fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) and ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC).

The 2026 edition continued a series of international workshops on Fibre Reinforced Concrete – From Design to Structural Applications, held previously in Montreal (2014), Desenzano (2018) and Arizona State University (2023). The series builds on earlier FRC events, including Budapest (1999), Bergamo (2004) and Catania (2007).

The 2014 workshop in Montreal resulted in fib Bulletin 79 and ACI SP-310, both titled “Fibre Reinforced Concrete: From Design to Structural Applications”. The 2018 edition in Desenzano del Garda was followed by fib Bulletin 95 and ACI SP-343 under the same title. The 2023 workshop proceedings will be published jointly with ACI shortly.

Thank you to all the participants for their contributions and lively discussions, the keynote lecturers for sharing their expertise, the organising and scientific committees for their dedicated work, and the sponsors and supporting organisations for making the workshop possible.
