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.

President, fib

Invitation

Pci:JamesTOscas

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.

James G. Toscas

President, PCI

Invitation

The objective of fib(internationalfederationforstructuralconcrete) 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.

Washington is widely recognized as the seat of government for the United States. The

area offers much more, however. From its celebrated symbols of patriotism to its undis-

covered neighborhoods, the sights and sounds of the U.S. capital inspire millions of visi-

tors every year.

Walk the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and the Jefferson Memorial. Discover the wonder

of flight at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum or the intrigue of espionage

at the International Spy Museum. Reflect on human history at the National World War II

Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, or the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
