Concrete pressure on formwork refers to the lateral pressure exerted by the concrete on the formwork as it is placed and compacted. This pressure can vary depending on several factors, including:
When concrete is poured into a tall, vertical formwork system, it initially behaves like a fluid—exerting hydrostatic pressure. However, as hydration begins and the concrete loses workability, it begins to set and "stiffen." The formwork does not have to support the full fluid weight of the column forever; it only needs to withstand the pressure until the concrete gains enough shear strength to support itself. ciria report 108 concrete pressure on formwork
