Honeycomb is the right answer because badly mixed concrete does not bind properly.

Honeycomb when badly mixing or compacting of cement concrete.

Honeycombing occurs due to poor compaction, bleeding occurs due to high water ratio and segregation occurs due to bad mixing of concrete. So the answer is segregation is right.

Honeycombing is the term used to describe areas of the surface that are coarse and stony. It may be caused by insufficient fine material in the mix, perhaps due to incorrect aggregate grading or poor mixing.

The needle vibrator is not perfectly compacted then concrete occurs in honeycombing. So basically bleeding and segregation is occurring in not properly mixing of concrete.

Honey bomb is the correct one.

Segregation causes due to non-uniform mixing.
Bleeding is due to excess water.
If it is not vibrated properly.
So badly mixed is nothing but nonuniform mixing, Therefore Segregation is directly attributed to a bad mix.
Therefore, the answer is Segregation.
Bleeding is due to excess water.
If it is not vibrated properly.
So badly mixed is nothing but nonuniform mixing, Therefore Segregation is directly attributed to a bad mix.
Therefore, the answer is Segregation.

The right answer is segregation. Honeycombing may be either due to bad compaction or segregation. But segregation is due to bad mixing.

Yeah, All three options are due to badly mixed concrete.

According to me options a b& c, all these happen.
- segregation means separation of coarse &fine aggregate.
- bleeding means separation of excess water from concrete.
- honeycombing means the formation of voids appears in form of a honeycomb.
All these phenomena happen because of bad mixing.
