Lateral form pressure induced by SCC

This paper presents the results from a pilot study regarding lateral form pressure induced by self-compacting concrete (SCC). Three forms were filled with different types of SCC and the form pressure was monitored by pressure sensors, installed in holes through the plywood form. The study showed that the lateral pressure directly after filling is close to the hydrostatic pressure and that the pressure reduces at a faster rate for SCCs with lower initial slump flow
