There is disclosed a honeycomb structure body having joining material layers of a stress relaxing function and joining strength equivalent to those of joining material layers of a conventional honeycomb structure body, and having an excellent heat shock resistance. A honeycomb structure body 100 includes a plurality of honeycomb segments 4 having porous partition walls with which a plurality of cells extending from one end surface to the other end surface to become through channels of a fluid are formed, and an outer peripheral wall positioned at the outermost periphery and disposed to surround the partition walls, and having plugged portions arranged in one end portion of each of predetermined cells and the other end portion of each of the remaining cells; and joining material layers 13 having a plurality of pores and joining the plurality of honeycomb segments 4 in a state where the honeycomb segments 4 are arranged adjacent to each other so that side surfaces of the honeycomb segments face each other. A ratio of the number of pores having a value of 1.2 or less which is obtained by dividing a maximum diameter of each of the pores by a minimum diameter of the each of the pores is 60% or more of the number of all the pores of each of the joining material layers 13. |
