This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fib Awards for Outstanding Concrete Structures are attributed every four years at the fib Congress, with the goal of enhancing the international recognition of concrete structures that demonstrate the versatility of concrete as a structural medium. The award consists of a bronze plaque to be displayed on the structure, and certificates presented to the main parties responsible for the work. Applications are invited by the fib secretariat via the National Member Groups. Information on the competition is also made available on the fib’s website, and in the newsletter fib-news published in Structural Concrete. The submitted structures must have been completed during the four years prior to the year of the Congress at which the awards are attributed. The jury may accept an older structure, completed one or two years before, provided that it was not already submitted for the previous award attribution (Mumbai, 2014). The submitted structures must also have the support of an fib Head of Delegation or National Member Group Secretary in order to confirm the authenticity of the indicated authors. Entries consist of the completed entry form, three to five representative photos of the whole structure and/or any important details or plans, and short summary texts explaining: - the history of the project; - description of the structure; - particularities of its realisation (difficulties encountered, special solutions found, etc.). A jury designated by the Presidium selects the winners. The awards are attributed in two categories, Civil Engineering Structures (including bridges) and Buildings. Two or three ‘Winners’ and two to four ‘Special Mention’ recipients are selected in each category, depending on the number of entries received. The jury takes into account criteria such as: - design aspects, including aesthetics and design detailing; - construction practice and quality of work; - environmental aspects of the design and its construction; - durability and sustainability aspects; - significance of the contribution made by the entry to the development and improvement of concrete construction. The decisions of the jury are definitive and cannot be challenged. They are unveiled at a special ceremony during the fib Congress in Melbourne.
