Minimum Lateral Force for Design of Wall Form
Bracing Systems
The lateral pressure of freshly placed concrete on wall forms is carried
by the ties. However, the wall forms must be braced adequately to
resist any eccentric loads or lateral forces due to wind. The minimum
lateral force applied at the top of wall forms is shown in Table 5-7. The
force may act in either direction as illustrated in Figure 5-16.
Bracing for Wall Forms
To ensure safety and alignment, forms must be adequately braced to
resist any lateral movement. Braces must be securely attached at both
ends to prevent displacement and rotation. Figure 5-17 shows the
