Pressure of Fresh Concrete on Vertical Formwork
Also Known As:
The DIN 18218 standard is specifically designed to measure the pressure exerted by fresh concrete on vertical formwork. It applies to both concrete as per the DIN EN 1026-1 and DIN 1045-2 standards, and self-compacting concrete (SSC) with a maximum aggregate size of 63 mm.
The purpose of this standard is to provide guidelines and procedures for accurately determining the pressure exerted by fresh concrete during the construction process. This information is crucial for ensuring the stability and safety of the formwork, as excessive pressure can lead to deformation and collapse.
The standard specifies the testing methods and parameters that should be followed, including the dimensions of the test specimen, the measurement instruments to be used, and the test conditions such as the temperature and time intervals. It also provides recommendations for the maximum permissible pressure on the formwork based on the concrete type and the height of the formwork.
