About this Book

This Proceedings contains the papers of the fib Symposium “CONCRETE Innovations in Materials,

Design and Structures”, which was held in May 2019 in Kraków, Poland. This annual symposium was

co-organised by the Cracow University of Technology. The topics covered include Analysis and

Design, Sustainability, Durability, Structures, Materials, and Prefabrication.

The fib, Fédération internationale du béton, is a not-for-profit association formed by 45 national

member groups and approximately 1000 corporate and individual members. 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 fib, was formed in 1998 by the merger of the Euro-International Committee for Concrete (the

CEB) and the International Federation for Prestressing (the FIP). These predecessor organizations

existed independently since 1953 and 1952, respectively.
