Understanding Concrete Formwork Pressure of Posted: 12 Jul 2011 11:40 PM PDT It 'important to know and understand the factors that may influence the formwork pressure to ensure a successful pour. When placing concrete, we consider the various factors that play a role in determining the rate of placement and height of the jet. Unit weight of concrete The unit weight of concrete, which can vary geographically, usually 140-150 pounds per cubic foot. Concrete with a weight of less is a lower form of concretePressure> will increase, while concrete with a weight of more pressure. Height of concrete pour Pour the amount of concrete means that the total height of the wall, concrete is in a cast. concretepressure = unitweightxheight When the concrete has not reached the first set of lifts, then this is what would be the formwork pressure. Ideally, it is good practice, specific location, so that each elevator reaches the initialdetermined. Setting the time The following factors affect the concrete set-up times. Once the concrete has set, there is no real zero pressure. Chemical mix concrete – This is the pressure of the concrete factors include: type of cement, slag or fly ash and retarder. – All the pressure casing and then increased the rate of acceleration of setting time and reduce the pressure .. Temperature of concrete – Major The same time of taking the temperature decreases. The ambient temperature affects the actual temperature, so that would put more slowly in winter. Vibration method and the depth – Any method of consolidation, either internally or externally, should be done with the elevator. Disturbing the elevator shaft above influences the creation, increasing the height of the concrete is not set, the creation of more concrete pressure. Rate and method of placement – This is the concrete > Print – Slowly positioning leads to less pressure, the rate of placement is in meters per hour .. For example, when concrete was placed in a 10foot wall and it took two hours, the placement rate would be 5 meters per hour. Fluidity of cement – Concrete with a slump of 7.0 or higher, and self-consolidating concrete (SCC), has no time for initial setup. Wall thickness – In theory, the wall thickness does not affect the concrete formwork> Pressure, but a narrow wall may produce a lower pressure filling effects. In summary, the most important factors affecting formwork pressure, the rate of placement, concrete, and temperature. In general, the placement rate may be lower in winter than in summer. In essence, no matter how many cubic meters per hour, or how big the project is located. What matters is the placement rate and time at that height (the height of the wall is poured out forHour). This information should also know that the decision to install the concrete from knowingly various factors that can be used in formwork pressure.
