Back Propping

02/28/2012 5:52 AM

is there a standard formula to determine if we need back propping when doing the floor to floor concrete pouring? If yes, may I know the dependable website or program?

Not sure what you meant by using the term "back propping", as it may be a local construction term.....

Did you mean to use the term "temporary shoring of concrete formwork" instead?

there are too many variables to consider. if you have had hands on experience pouring concrete , go with your instincts. if not, hire someone who does. i know it does'nt work on paper. it's always better to over design the bracing than deal with a catastophic failure.
