Workability:-it is defined as the ease with which concrete can be compacted fully without segregation and bleeding. It depends on the quantity of water, grading of aggregates, and the percentage of fine materials in the mix. Segregation:-it implies the separation of coarser particles from the mix which result is non homogeneity of the concrete mixer Segregation results in honeycombing and decrease in density and ultimately loss of strength of concrete. Impermeability:-impermeability is the resistance of the concrete to the flow of water through the pore spaces in it. Nos Miser 1:1:2
