The fib presents awards to recognize contributions to the association, to the field of structural concrete in general, structures which demonstrate concrete’s versatility, and to recognize young engineers. The fib considers that it is important to recognise fib members that have been active for many years and that have contributed to the goals of the fib.

The fib fellows are elected on the basis of the following criteria:

  • They are current fib members and have been for the last 10 years
