The tendency of water to rise to the surface of freshly placed concrete.
Effects Of Bleeding in concrete
1. Concrete loses its homogeneity which results in weak and porous concrete.
2. It makes the concrete permeable.
3. It delays the surface finishing in pavement construction.
4. It causes high water-cement ratio at the top surface.
5. The bond between two concrete layers become weaker.
6. Pumping ability of concrete is significantly reduced.
