The seminar on “High Strength Concrete: Opportunities and Challenges in the Context of Bangladesh” will explore the benefits and challenges of using high-strength concrete in Bangladesh’s construction industry, focusing on its potential to improve durability, efficiency, and sustainability while addressing local challenges such as material availability and costs.
This seminar will explore the role of high-strength concrete (HSC) in transforming Bangladesh’s construction industry. With rapid urbanization and increasing demand for durable infrastructure, HSC offers a promising solution. However, its implementation presents both opportunities and challenges. Experts will provide a comprehensive overview of HSC, covering its applications, advantages, and the obstacles to its widespread use in the country.
