Concrete Wall Pouring Specs

This document calculates the lateral pressures for a 15 foot tall concrete wall formwork according to ACI 347R-14 standards. It determines that the pour rate of 7 feet per hour requires using Equation 2.3 to calculate pressures. The minimum and maximum allowable lateral pressures are 600 psf and 2000 psf respectively according to the equation. The depth at which the maximum pressure of 990 psf occurs is 6.6 feet.
