[TowerTalk] Fluid pressure of concrete

[Mickey Baker]

I studied this 30+ years ago... when I was an engineering co-op tasked with
building a rail loading platform (but EE, so I needed to figure it out.)
The strategy to build a form is to basically overbuild.

Pressure is dynamic, so you solve for peak for most pours, which occurs
just before the first bit of a pour sets. Here's a site I found that
explains the general calculations and the process. I'm interested why you
ask...
