loading from concrete as backfill to wall
loading from concrete as backfill to wall
(OP)
I have a concrete wall that behind will be backfilled with mass concrete. The concrete will be liquid state (or thereabouts) when poured so what loading criteria should be used? treat as hydrostaic with unit weight of 24 kn/m2? probably conservative?

The pressures from wet concrete can be significantly higher than those from the ground. Insist that the work is done in lifts, not all at once.
Use a drier concrete mix if you can.
