Thanks for the input, that helps! To be more specific, the tension could be calculated at 3 points. 1 band would tie it at 100mm from the bottom, 1 band in the middle, and 1 band 100mm from the top. The capabilities of the forming itself could be left out of the equation, the tension would be...

I am needing to calculate the pressure that concrete will exert on a cylindrical form for an upcoming project. My question is: if the perimeter forming is constructed as a closed band, will the required tensile strength of that band be equivalent to the hydrostatic pressure against the wall...

Kent here. I run a construction company where I sometimes need some technical input on physics. I'll come here to ask questions from people smarter than myself!
