The vision for fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2020 (MC2020), as a single merged general structural code, goes beyond the point reached by fib MC2010, recent ISO codes, such as ISO 16311, and the current Eurocode activities to extend their application to existing structures. The envisaged development is intended to result in an internationally recognized and comprehensive fib Model Code 2020 for new and existing concrete structures. This work is to be taken forward by TG10.1: Model Code 2020. It is clear from discussions at the TC that Commission 10 and TG10.1 should have wide international representation.
The fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2020 is only available in PRINTED version. The electronic version is accessible via the online viewer depending on your subscription but a PDF version cannot be purchased nor downloaded. Please select the DHL shipment as your delivery option when you make your order.
Model Code users will have access to the Model Code and supporting documents online. Please check the MC2020 plan below.

fib MC (2020) presents new consensus guidance on developments relating to concrete structures and structural materials, as well as providing a basis for future codes for concrete structure. It addresses significant advances made on a wide range of issues including those relating to structural design and analysis methods, seismic design and assessment procedures, durability, structural monitoring, service life design, structural assessment through-life and making interventions to adapt existing structures or enhance their performance to accommodate revised requirements or extend their useful life.
fib MC (2020), like previous editions of the fib Model Code, not only specifies requirements and recommended practices, but gives explanations in the adjoining informative column of the document. -
