while placing and compacting, is called
A. Segregation
B. Bleeding
C. Bulking

concrete when coarse aggregates tends to settle down and free water rises up to the
surface.

Answer :– B
Pith : The innermost central portion in core of the tree is called the pith or medulla.
It consists entirely of cellular tissues.
It is the darkest portion of the trees that signifies that does not take any active part in the
growth of the tree.
Cambium Layer : It is the thin layer between sap wood and inner bark.
It represents the future growth of the tree.
Outer Bark: It consists of cells of wood fiber and also known as cortex.
The outer bark protects the tree from high temperature and mechanical harm.
Medullary Rays: The thin radial fibers extending from pith to cambium layer are known as
medullary rays:
The functions of these rays are to hold together the annual rings of sapwood and heartwood
also impart strength to the timber section in transverse direction.
Annualar rings: Annualar rings are useful in predicting the age of tree.
