Effective Microorganisms Composite Scupper Drain (EM-CSD)

Problem Statement

Flash flood at road side drain causing traffic problem.

Concrete Mix Design

The mix design prepared with 0.55 w/c ratio.

The quantity for EM was 10% by replacing the amount of total water content.

Concrete mix for control concrete mix (without EM) and EM concrete mix (with addition of EM) was the same.
