pl.may i place dry mix in casting of drain bed partialy filled
with water?if no pl explain.

Answer Posted / ram narendranath

Don't pour the concrete in partially filled drains because of there will be more water than the requirement for concrete in that case cement will may be drained out also. It is necessary to remove maximum possible water after wards fill the damp area with Coarse sand after wards you have to pour the concrete for Drain bed. Otherwise cement is to be add to water to maintain the cement quantity in concrete as per requirement.
