Abstract

This research was carried out to analyze honeycomb critically to actualize building design appearances. Such problems are: reduction in the load bearing capacity or the strength of the building structures, increase in the penetration of water inside the building structures, losing of grip between rods and concrete and reduction in the durability of the buildings are problems associated with honeycomb. However, these problems can be solved by addition of water within the allowable limit, using a cohesive concrete to improve on the grip on the rod, proper compaction or vibration of concrete, reduction of the pouring height, ensuring a water tight form work and placing of bars in beams and columns properly.
