Sustainability perspective in fib MC2020: Contribution of concrete structures to sustainability
Sustainability is a global goal of sustainable development aimed at ensuring a quality life on the Earth for the future generations. Buildings, infrastructure and the entire built environment should be better prepared for the new conditions—they should be sustainable, resilient and adaptable to new situations. This requires new technical solutions for the construction, reconstruction, and modernization of buildings and all other engineering structures. Concrete is gradually becoming a building material with great potential for realizing technical solutions that meet new requirements, leading to the necessary reduction of environmental impacts and consequent improvement of social and economic conditions. The paper presents implementation of sustainability principles in the new fib Model Code 2020 (MC2020). This represents a contribution of the International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib) to the achievements of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), set by the United Nations in 2015 as an action plan for the period up to 2030.
