Abstract:
Designing and fabricating formwork for vertical elements are significant parts of the construction process for reinforced concrete structures. Formwork reliability can have financial and safety implications, so formwork designers need accurate methods for predicting lateral pressures. The article describes the rheological (flow) behavior of self-consolidating concrete (SCC), identifies differences in some of the existing form pressure models, and presents recommendations for determination of the lateral pressure of formwork exerted by SCC.
