Explanation:

  • Highly absorbent formwork is not desirable because it can absorb water from the freshly poured concrete, leading to uneven curing and potentially weakening the concrete.
  • Formwork should be non-absorbent to prevent such issues.

 Additional InformationOther Desirable Characteristics of Good Formwork:

1) Should provide a smooth surface finish: A smooth finish is essential for an even concrete surface without imperfections.

2) Should be easily handled and removed: Formwork should be designed for ease of handling, quick assembly, and easy removal to ensure efficiency on-site.

3) Should be rigid and strong: The formwork must be strong enough to withstand the weight of the wet concrete without deformation or failure.
