Pressure exerted on formwork by self-compacting concrete at early ages: A review
Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a flowable concrete that exerts high pressure on formwork. SCC is the most commonly used concrete worldwide for construction applications due to its cost-effectiveness. The high flow of SCC reduces both the number of workers and the casting time required. It also el...

| description | Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a flowable concrete that exerts high pressure on formwork. SCC is the most commonly used concrete worldwide for construction applications due to its cost-effectiveness. The high flow of SCC reduces both the number of workers and the casting time required. It also eliminates vibration and removes noise pollution. This study is a review of previous investigations into the pressure exerted by fresh-state SCC on formwork. The paper discussed various factors that affect lateral pressure on formwork. These factors are included theoretical predictions, the effect of temperature, casting rate, rheology, types of pressure sensors, geometry and workability. Considering these various factors, the paper discussed major factors related to lateral pressure of SCC at early ages. However, internal temperature measurement of concrete effects at fresh state appears to be an important factor. |
