fib: what’s happening? is organised by the
UK Group of fib (The International Federation for Structural Concrete). The commissions instigate research on structural concrete and publish industry guidance that goes beyond what established codes can offer. Designers, contractors, academics and clients will gain an understanding of the latest
fib developments.
Expert speakers will cover what's happening on:
- Commission 1: Concrete Structures - Andy Truby, Director, TrubyStevenson Ltd
