Abstract
AbstractThe fib Model Code 2020 (MC2020) is developed to serve as the basis for future international codes and standards for the design of concrete structures by summarizing international research and experience and converting this knowledge into a practical document. The chapter “Concretes” contained therein provides a clear set of application rules in combination with sufficient background information and related references. This paper gives a concise overview of the contents of the Chapter 14 “Concretes” in the 2nd draft of MC2020. Instead of presenting numerous details on changes in the text and equations compared with the previous MC2010, major fundamentals on modeling concrete behavior are indicated. New sections in MC2020 on non‐conventional concretes, durability specifications and environmental performance are covered. Extended state‐of‐the‐art chapters on concrete transport properties and durability design conclude this contribution.
