Question: 1 ) Compute the form pressure for an 1 8 ft tall column. Assume concrete is placed at a rate of 9 ft / h

1) Compute the form pressure for an 18 ft tall column. Assume concrete is
placed at a rate of 9 ft/h, has a density of 145 lb/ft3
, a slump of 5 in., and a
temperature of 75\deg F. This concrete is made with a cement blend containing
45% slag, but no retarders. Internal vibration will occur in intervals less than
4 ft in depth.
2) Repeat the same for the column of Problem 1 using the same concrete
mixture, a retarder, a temperature of 90\deg F, and at a rate R =4 ft/h.
3) A wall form is filled with 80\deg F concrete placed to a height of 24 ft at a rate R
=8 ft/h. The concrete density is 125 lb/ft3, it contains a retarder, is made
with Type III cement, and has a 5 in. slump. It will be internally vibrated at
intervals less than 6 ft. Compute the wall form pressure.
