Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Shotcrete in Around 40 Minutes
Shotcrete is a common tool in geotechnical engineering. It is used in soil nail walls, foundations, shoring, tunnels, and support of excavations. This presentation, based on “Introduction to Shotcrete” by the American Shotcrete Association, will address shotcrete terminology, history, methods, uses, placement, preparation, mixtures, testing, finishing, curing, and quality control. After the presentation, we hope to have a robust question and answer period.
