- What is shotcrete and when is it used? - American Concrete Institute
The shotcrete process requires less formwork and can be more economical than conventionally placed concrete Shotcrete is applied using a wet- or dry-mix process The wet-mix shotcrete process mixes all ingredients, including water, before introduction into the delivery hose The dry-mix shotcrete process adds water to the mix at the nozzle
- shotcrete Topic - American Concrete Institute
Shotcrete is a method of applying concrete projected at high velocity primarily on to a vertical or overhead surface The impact created by the application consolidates the concrete Although the hardened properties of shotcrete are similar to those of conventional cast-in-place concrete, the nature of the placement process results in an excellent bond with most substrates, and rapid or

- ACI PRC-506-22: Shotcrete - Guide - American Concrete Institute
Description This guide is a companion document to ACI 506 2, “Specification for Shotcrete,” and provides information on materials and properties of both dry-mix and wet-mix shotcrete Most facets of the shotcrete process are covered, including application procedures, equipment requirements, and responsibilities of the shotcrete crew
- Shotcrete Inspector - American Concrete Institute
Certification Programs Shotcrete Inspector Definition: A certified Shotcrete Inspector is an individual who has demonstrated the knowledge and experience required to properly inspect the placement of shotcrete
- Successful Design of Wet-Mix Shotcrete - American Concrete Institute
Since Carl Akeley introduced shotcrete to the construction industry in 1910, developments in materials, chemical admixtures, equipment, and techniques have led to significant advancements Relative to conventional concrete, shotcrete is now capable of providing similar performance at a lower cost (made possible by reductions in labor and materials required for formwork), and it can be placed
