The year 2023 marked the 20th anniversary of the International Institute for FRP in Construction (IIFC). To commemorate this important milestone, the IIFC, in collaboration with the ASCE Journal of Composites for Construction, developed a dedicated Special Collection of the journal on the theme ‘New Frontiers of FRP in Construction and Pathways towards Implementation’. The Guest Editors are grateful to ASCE for facilitating this joint effort.
