Difference between segregation and bleading in concrete

Question

Accepted Answer

Segregation is the separation of coarse and fine particles in concrete, while bleeding is the upward movement of water in concrete.

Segregation occurs when the coarse and fine particles in concrete separate due to improper mixing or handling.
Bleeding is the upward movement of water in concrete due to the settlement of solid particles.
Segregation can lead to uneven distribution of aggregates in the concrete, resulting in weak spots.
Bleeding can cause surface defects and weaken the concrete's strength.
Both segregation and bleeding can be prevented by proper mixing, handling, and curing of concrete.
