Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Engineering - Civil Engineering, grade: 4.0, University of Engineering & Technology Peshawar, course: Project, language: English, abstract: This study introduces the need, difficulties associated with and solutions for implementing the use of High Strength Concrete in Peshawar and challenging areas in general. It does so by using Peshawar as a case study and generalizing its characteristics to any other such regions in the world. It reviews current standard methods for making High Strength Concrete in the world and investigates those used in the target region. Then compares them to find the difficulties that stand as a hindrance in achieving High Strength Concrete in said area, naming them as challenges. It uses the PEC (Pakistan Engineering Council) contractors categorization to provide guidelines for each category to tackle the challenge that hinders it the most. Furthermore, it provides a set of actions for PEC to follow for a successful implementation of High Strength Concrete in the area. It also gives a review of the process for use in other challenging environments, also giving examples of such environments in Pakistan and other parts of the world.
