    Reasons we come

    across Honeycomb:
    • Inappropriate workability of
    concrete

    • Inefficient vibration to
    concrete while placing

    • Congested Reinforcement

    • Less cover to rebar


    compared to Maximum
    size of aggregate,
    blocking smooth flow of
    concrete in all corners of
    formwork

    • Gaps in formwork allowing


    paste to leak

    A CAMPAIGN: • Pouring of concrete from


    excessive height causing

    “AVOID HONEYCOMB”
    segregation of concrete
