Engineering and Design. Standard Practice for Shotcrete

Abstract

This manual provides information and guidance on the selection, proportioning, and application of shotcrete. It is intended for use by engineers and technical staff tasked with the planning, design, contract preparation, and construction management phases of a shotcrete project. A quality assurance chapter is included which details necessary technical activities during the construction phase. Subjects discussed include shotcrete and applications, materials, equipment and crew, preconstruction testing and evaluation, placement, quality control, and quality assurance. This manual does not provide guidelines for structural analysis of shotcrete applications. Refer to EM 1110-2-2000 for additional general guidance on concrete.
