ABSTRACT
This experimental work is to verify the previously developed prediction model for self-consolidating concrete (SCC) formwork pressure. A new apparatus was devised to simulate formwork pressure in laboratory, and experiments were performed for one SCC mix. The predicted pressure with the calibrated parameters were compared with the pressure measured under continuous and discrete pouring. The calibrated parameters have a specific trend over loading time, and the calculated pressure accurately simulates the real pressure varying over time.
