Consider a wall with the following dimensions: 120 feet long x 15 feet high x 9 inches thick. Also consider using a concrete pump with a capacity of 800 cubic feet per hour. Concrete mix consists of Type 1 concrete with retarder, and a unit weigh of 155 pcf. The maximum pressure applied on the wall form is approximately 2,200 psf.

What is the rate of pour?

What is the maximum temperature at which the concrete can be poured? Clearly label the units of temperature, and state all justifications for selecting equations, and coefficients accordingly.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Rate of pour

it is defined as the quantity of concrete that is poured into the formwork at a given time period (Rate of placement).or in other words it is the average rate of rising of the concrete in forwork, usually represented in feet per hour.

ACI 347-04 - guide for formwork for concrete is adopted to calculate the temperature and other coefficient values mentioned in the question
