Honeycombing in concrete can be formed due to the improper consolidation of concrete. If Concrete is not consolidate when it is placed inside of form work air voids could remain between the forms and the concrete creating honeycombing. Proper consolidation can be achieved by the use of vibrators.
What else can I help you with?
How can i avoid honeycombing in concrete?
By means of proper compactionBy adopting appropriate water-cement ratiosegregation and bleeding should be prevented
Why is concrete suitable for walls?
Concrete is economical, easily formed, durable, has good strength under compression loading and can be finished in many aesthetically pleasing textures.
How much steel is required for one cubic meter of concrete?
None. Concrete may be formed without metal.If you are reinforcing the concrete with rebar then it depends on what loads the reinforced concrete will have to bear, the dimension of the rebar, the safety factor involved, and lots of other geometric factors.Steel bars quantity will be according to structure element; but a (very) rough average of 120 KG per cubic meter.
What is Cast in situ concrete?
Cast in place. Concrete is poured where at its permanent location. For example, a manhole cast in-situ will be formed and poured at the pipe connection. This is the opposite of pre-cast, meaning it is cast off-site and transported to its permanent location.
Will Water damage concrete?
Not generally. If the concrete has a sealent on it no, but if you have a massive amount of water on unsealed concrete, the concrete will absorb the water and can make it swell and possibly crack. Answer The answer given above is totally incorrect. As far as only concrete is concerned i.e. plain concrete, the effect of water seepage is very little (depending upon the grade of concrete) whereas for RCC (reinforced cement concrete) water that seeps in corrodes the reinforcement and thus reduces the life of the structure. The defects that water seepage induces in concrete are as follows: 1) induces capillary formation (due tothe detiorating characteristics of water) 2) With this capillaries the concrete starts spalling out i.e the places where capillaries are formed, with even slight amount of stress that portion comes out and exposes the steel to the atmosphere 3) Concrete has a pH of about 12 -13. Thus it also reduces the pH of the concrete when salty water or when the concrete is exposed to marshy areas. 4) Reduces the overall strength of concrete 5) Reduces durability 6) Reduces permeabitlity to further water seepage 7) Results in ageing of structures

What is honeycombing in cement?
Honeycombing - is pockets of air trapped during the mixing process. The air-pockets stay in the mixture while it hardens - leaving a weaker area where the honeycombing has occured.
How is concrete formed from limestone?
concrete is formed from limestone by the combustion of the limestone (heating of the limestone)!
Define vibration of concrete and its importance?
Vibration is a process by which fully compacted concrete is achived.Importance:Prevents honeycombingPrevents segregation and bleeding of concreteExpuls air from concrete.
How was Hoover Dam formed?
It is a manmade concrete structure.
How is precast concrete produced?
unlike standard concrete which is in a liquid form and poured were it is needed and formed, precast concrete is molded offsite into the form that is required and then shipped to the site where it will be set into place.
What is a type of concrete?
A concretion is a rock formed from sedimentary processes; therefore, it is a sedimentary rock.
Why is concrete suitable for walls?
Concrete is economical, easily formed, durable, has good strength under compression loading and can be finished in many aesthetically pleasing textures.
What is concrete haunch?
section of solid concrete that results from stopping the deck on each side of the girder in a composite floor system constructed using a formed steel deck.
What is the difference between brick veneer and brick masonry?
Masonry implies bricks, blocks, or stones held together with mortar. Bricks are fired ceramic. Blocks are usually formed concrete. And stones are formed naturally and quarried from the earth. They are held together with mortar. Concrete is used as mortar, but concrete can also be poured to make slabs and foundations. I think the difference is that concrete can be used by itself without being considered masonry. For example, even statues can be made from concrete by pouring them into a mold.
What is the abstract noun formed from shell?
There is no abstract noun form of the concrete noun 'shell' or the verb to 'shell'.
When was the first concrete evidence found to support the theory that new ocean crust formed at vents in the ocean floor?
1977!
