A honeycomb structure comprises two or more honeycomb segments having axially penetrating distribution holes partitioned by partition walls which have filtration ability. One of the respective ends of predetermined distribution holes is closed. The other ends of the remaining holes are sealed. The two segments are joined together by a joining layer. The Young's modulus of the joining layer is 20% lower than that of the honeycomb segment material. Alternatively, the strength of the joining layer is lower than that of the segment material. |
