scope:

This standard is intended to be used to determine the fresh concrete pressure on vertical formwork by concrete according to DIN EN 206-1 and DIN 1045-2, and by self-compacting concrete (SCC) according to DAfStb-Richtlinie "Selbstverdichtender Beton" (SCC Code of practice issued by the German Reinforced Concrete Committee) with a maximum size of aggregate of 63 mm.

The fresh concrete pressure established according to this standard is the most important criterion governing the design of vertical formwork and formwork that deviates from the vertical by up to ± 5°.

Deviations from the specifications of this standard are permitted if a more precise verification is made on the basis of calculation and/or empirical testing.
