One of fib’s two parent organizations, FIP, held its seventh congress
in New York in 1974, and its twelfth (and penultimate one before
its merger with CEB), in Washington D.C. in 1994. Now, the
International Federation for Structural Concrete, (fib), is coming
back to the U.S. with its top event, the Congress held every four
years. fib’s Third International Congress, incorporating PCI’s 2010
Annual Convention and Bridge Conference, will take place in the
nation’s capital, Washington D.C., and will build on the successful
tradition of its 2002 Congress in Osaka (Japan) and the 2006 edition in Naples (Italy).
Congresses are fib’s high points. Unlike its Symposia, which take place during non-Con-
gress years and focus on specific themes, Congresses encompass all aspects of structural
concrete, bringing together practitioners, researchers and other experts from all over
the world to share information, knowledge and experience in all fields of concrete. It is
only at Congresses that fib confers its highest award,: the Freyssinet Medal, on one or
two individuals for their outstanding technical contributions to structural concrete, and
presents its prestigious Awards for Outstanding Concrete Structures. Last, but not least,
the first draft of fib’s 2010 Model Code for concrete structures (the follow up to the 1978
and 1990 CEB/FIP Model Codes) will be presented in public and debated for the first time
at the Washington Congress.
I would like to invite you to fib’s Third International Congress in Washington D.C., for a
unique opportunity to share information and knowledge, and to network and mingle
socially with thousands of concrete experts from around the world. May is the best time
of the year to visit the U.S. capital. Furthermore, in view of the forthcoming wave of
infrastructure projects and the probable recovery of the housing market, it will be the
right time to connect with other concrete experts. I look forward to welcoming you all
in Washington D.C. next May.

The fib Congress is the most prestigious international event of the
concrete field, and the Third International Congress promises to be
the best one ever. PCI, as lead organization for the fib US Group,
is proud to serve as host for the Third International Congress.
The theme “Think Globally, Build Locally” is an essential tenet of
sustainable design and construction, which represents the next
stage in the evolution of design. Concrete structures have inher-
ent advantages with regard to sustainability, which makes it incumbent on designers and
engineers working in concrete to embrace and advance this concept. Accordingly, the
Congress technical program will include the latest in sustainable design concepts and
experience.
To “think globally” we need to share ideas and collaborate on a global basis. If we are
to make effective use of the world’s resources, we cannot afford to dismiss ideas, tech-
nologies, and methods because they were “not invented here.” The Congress will serve
as a salient reminder that science and engineering know no national boundaries. We
will gather to share our best with one another, thus advancing the whole of our industry
and of society.
I invite you to join us in Washington, DC for several days of learning, camaraderie, enjoy-
ment, and “thinking globally.” I then hope that you will apply what you have learned
to a new level of “building locally” with concrete. Finally, I trust that you will long enjoy
the memories and friends you make at this wonderful event.

President, PCI

The objective of fib (international federation for structural concrete) 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.
For further information, see www.fib-international.org.
The International fib Congress and Exhibition, held only once every four years, is always a
major event on the concrete industry calendar. The 2010 event will be no exception. The
theme for the 2010 Congress is “Think Globally, Build Locally,” celebrating international
information sharing and collaboration to achieve superior results everywhere people
design and build with concrete.
No matter what your interest may be in the realm of concrete design and construction,
you will find the 2010 fib Congress and Exhibition to be an extremely valuable and enjoy-
able event that is not to be missed.

Since its inception in 1954, the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) has been an
important and successful vehicle to bring members together for the exchange of knowl-
edge and industry promotion. PCI members guide the institute’s efforts in product inno-
vation, new technology adaptation, design methods development, training, and quality
assurance.
PCI’s Annual Convention will be held in conjunction with the fib Congress. Expect to
network with precast and prestressed concrete manufacturers and erectors, industry sup-
pliers, DOT and federal highway representatives, engineers, architects, and academics.
