Embedment strength for stay in place concrete wall panel

I'm hoping to finalize a design for a precast pea gravel concrete wall panel to serve as a stay in place form for cast in place concrete. It will be a non braced system to hopefully contain form pressure of 1500 psf at the bottom of a ten foot pour. My concern is that the embedded expanded steel along with concrete displacement created by styrofoam embedment will be strong enough. I have worked out equations setting shear strength at 2 x sqrt 4000 x bo (perimeter) x d (depth). Since the panels will be stacked vertically, there will be compressive force which according to eqn (11-4) may increase the multiplier two to three. Any thoughts or clever ideas would be greatly appreciated. Would glass or steel fiber (Helix) be a no brainer addition?

Looking at first smaller pull out area affecting larger panel intersection.

What are you adding the fiber to, the panel or the CIP behind?
 
PVA fiber or helix steel fiber could be added to the panel mix. I've used with approval Helix fiber as a substantial rebar replacement in the cast in place, at 13 pounds per cubic yard.
