Structural Concrete Journal’s impact factor increase
We are pleased to announce that the Thomson Reuters score for the impact factor of the fib’s Structural Concrete journal reached 1.492, representing a significant increase over the past year. This increase is attributable to the high quality of the articles published in the journal and the efforts of our editorial team.

The symposium will take place from 9-11 March 2016 in Kassel, Germany. The deadline for abstract submission is 15 July 2015.

fib Bulletin 75 now available
fib Bulletin 75: Polymer-duct systems for internal bonded post-tensioning is now available in the fib’s online store. This recommendation updates and amends fib Bulletin 7: Corrugated plastic ducts for internal bonded post-tensioning, a technical report published in 2000. The new publication is meant as a cornerstone for the technical approval of polymer (plastic) ducts for internal bonded post-tensioning and possibly for the test procedures of a future testing standard.
