The International Conference on Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) 2025, Riga Latvia

Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) has decades of proven use, but the requirements of modern facilities go beyond the limits of conventional reinforced concrete. Mesh-heavy designs, excessive concrete thickness, and higher material consumption no longer deliver the durability, efficiency, and adaptability that demanding projects require. SFRC, supported by full-scale testing and advanced design, provides engineers with the tools to build stronger, thinner, more resilient structures that reduce material use and enable future flexibility.

Key themes at ICSFRC 2025 include: 

  • Full-scale testing: bridging the gap between codes, calculations, and actual field performance.
  • Engineering practice: lessons from complex projects worldwide where SFRC ensures reliability under heavy loads, automation, and long-term use.
  • Design innovation: how SFRC enables durable and adaptable solutions that conventional methods cannot achieve.

Conference Highlight:  

The launch of Xavier Destrée, ir. FACI​ new practitioner’s guide, the most comprehensive reference for specifying SFRC with confidence, aligning engineering design with both code requirements and real-world results.

This conference will serve as a working platform for engineers. Participants will learn from tested designs, proven structures, and peer-to-peer knowledge sharing that connects engineering judgment to project outcomes. 

Programm Accredited by The Latvian Association of Civil Engineers (LACE)


Why attend? 

  • Learn how global leaders such as Prologis and NOVO Energy are applying SFRC to deliver efficiency and adaptability in their facilities.
  • Gain a deeper understanding of how test data underpins safe innovation and supports evolving design codes.
  • Connect with an international network of engineers committed to advancing the practice of structural and industrial concrete design.
  • Earn accredited professional development points - the conference is university-accredited and counts toward continuing education requirements for engineers and students.

Whether you are designing logistics hubs, giga factories, or future-ready data centers, this conference delivers evidence-based insights that conventional practice cannot provide.

Limited space for in-person attendance (100) and unlimited registration for on-line attendance.
