Pouring details
Concrete density; D = 25.0 KN/m³
Vertical pour height; H = 0.30 m
Shape of formwork (wall if any plan dim. > 2m); Wall
Concrete temperature at placing; T = 30.0 Deg. C
Rate of rise; R = 0.6 m/h
Type of concrete; 3
Concrete pressure (BS 5975:2008 cl. 17.4.2 & CIRIA Report 108)
If c1 √R > H → Pmax = D x H
If c1 √R < H → Pmax = D [c1 √R + c2 K √(H - c1 √R)]
Where;
Shape of formwork coefficient; c1 = 1
Concrete coefficient; c2 = 0.45
Temperature coefficient; K = [36 / (T+16)]² = 0.612
