Model Code is one of the most important documents produced by fib. Since its first edition in 1970, fib has published editions in 1978, 1990 and recently in 2010. All of these documents have influenced the production of National and Regional Codes. Model Codes 1978 and 1990 had a strong influence on current and previous versions of Eurocode 2. Model Code 2010 similarly guides the preparatory work of CEN for the new editions of Eurocodes. Model Codes are an important reference for researchers, designers and constructors. The new edition, to be published in 2020, intends to approach, at the same level, new and existing structures and present more general and rational models, removing any trace of previous empirical design rules. It will be an operational model code and will be oriented towards practical needs. This paper shows the content of the new Model Code 2020 and the ongoing work for its preparation.
