Abstrait:

Given the functional and aesthetic quality expected from concrete surfaces, this study investigated the influence of different formwork materials on their surface density, porosity, voids, and elementary chemical composition by relying on X-ray Microtomography (μCT), Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). The formwork materials assessed were galvanized steel, regular plywood (pink), marine plywood, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and silicone. μCT showed that distinct formwork affected the surface density of the concrete. In this case, specimens cast within silicone and marine plywood had similar pore volumes although different pore sizes, whereas PVC led to the highest pore volume with small pore sizes. Galvanized steel and regular plywood resulted in similar porosity. SEM showed that the concrete surfaces produced with marine plywood formwork had the highest void content. EDS identified surface products resulting from the contact of concrete with the different formwork materials, suggesting the potential migration of chemical elements. This research significantly contributes to optimizing formwork material selection and enhancing concrete quality and durability. Moreover, it establishes a foundation for further investigations into how formwork materials affect concrete surfaces and the pathological manifestations potentially arising from the molding process.
