In This Short Article We Cover What Is Meant By Honeycombs In Concrete
And Also Discuss Main Reasons Of Honeycombs.
WHAT IS HONEYCOMBS
Honeycombs Are Hollow Spaces And Cavities Left In Concrete Mass On Surface.
Also Inside The Concrete Mass Where Concrete Could Not Reach.
These Look Like Honey Bees Nest.
Honeycombs Which Are ON SIDES,
- Visible To Naked Eyes And Can Be Detected Easily As Soon Shuttering Is Removed.

Honeycombs Which Are INSIDE,
- Mass Of Concrete Can Only Be Detected By Advanced Techniques Like Ultrasonic Testing Etc.
Honeycomb Is Due To Non-Reaching Of Concrete To All Places To Which Cavities And Hallow Pockets Are Created.
MAIN REASONS OF HONEYCOMBS
- Improper Vibration During Concreting.
- Less Cover To Reinforcement Bars.
- Use Of Very Stiff Concrete.
- Presence Of High Percentage Of Bigger Size Aggregate In Concrete Also Prevents Concrete To Fill Narrow Spaces Between The Reinforcement Rods.
