Effect of effective micro-organism on temperature variation and properties of concrete
In promoting sustainability in concrete, Effective Micro-Organism (EM) has been used in construction industry for the last few years. The aim of the study is to assess the effect of EM on the properties of concrete including fresh, hardened, durability and temperature variation in concrete. The rese...
