We Manage Your Standards
We are pleased to announce a strategic partnership between BSB Edge and fib, a not-for-profit association formed by 40+ national member groups and approximately 2,500 corporate and individual members in more than 100 countries. 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.
fib, through its Commissions, produces Model Codes, which are comprehensive design guidelines for new and existing concrete structures, as well as bulletins—expert-led publications that address specific aspects of structural concrete. More recently, the fib launched the Design & Construction series, which focuses on practical projects. Additionally, fib publishes a journal featuring research articles, discussions, and practical project papers, along with conference proceedings.
The work of fib is split amongst commissions and special
activity groups that focus on four key aspects: planning and
execution, materials and production, sustainability and durability,
and education and publications. The commissions include Concrete
structures, Analysis & design, Existing
concrete structures, Concrete & concrete technology,
Reinforcements, Prefabrication, Sustainability, Durability,
Dissemination of knowledge, and Model Codes. The SAGs include
Sustainability and AI & digitalisation.
Following the need for model calibrations for current and future
fib’s Model Codes, as well as other international standards,
there is an international necessity to agree on representative test
data and to provide it in Open Access as findable, accessible,
interoperable and reproducible. These data,
independently validated and organised in the form of databases can be
used in a transparent manner by multiple teams of researchers. The
fib is working on establishing a number of harmonised
databases.
Through this partnership, BSB Edge aims to help organizations discover, access, and operationalize fib guidance and publications across structural design, durability, sustainability, strengthening, and best practices for concrete construction.
Structural concrete decisions carry long-term consequences for safety, lifecycle cost, sustainability, and resilience. fib’s global work programs and publications help engineers and organizations align on modern design approaches, research-backed guidance, and performance-focused practices.
Design confidence: Use internationally aligned guidance for analysis and design of concrete structures.
Durability and lifecycle performance: Improve resistance to degradation and extend service life.
Sustainability: Support decarbonization and better materials decisions across projects.
Consistency across stakeholders: A shared reference for owners, EPCs, designers, reviewers, and auditors.
fib publishes widely used guidance such as model codes, bulletins, proceedings, and knowledge resources across concrete design and technology (for example, Model Code 2020 and fib Bulletins are among the best-known outputs).
High-level guidance to support modern design approaches and harmonized practice (e.g., Model Code 2020).
Deep technical guidance across analysis & design, durability, sustainability, strengthening, and materials.
Knowledge exchange through congresses, symposia, workshops, and published proceedings.
Guidance spanning materials, reinforcement, prefabrication, and performance-based approaches.
Standards e-Pedia by BSB Edge helps teams centralize access and stay aligned across projects:
Give teams one place to access approved documents and reduce “version confusion.”
Stay informed as guidance evolves so specs and reviews don’t fall behind.
Support training and consistent interpretation across design, QA, and site teams.
Improve traceability for design decisions, reviews, and compliance evidence.
fib publications benefit stakeholders across the concrete construction lifecycle:
Strengthen analysis, design, detailing, and performance-based decision-making.
Standardize specifications and review criteria across multi-site projects.
Improve durability planning, maintenance strategies, and lifecycle performance.
Use consistent references for verification, acceptance, and audit readiness.
We help teams turn guidance into consistent implementation across projects:
Streamline discovery, procurement, and delivery across teams and locations.
Reduce misalignment by standardizing references used in design and reviews.
Help multi-site organizations stay aligned with evolving guidance and usage needs.
