Shotcrete: Materials, Performance and Use is a comprehensive textbook
covering the current state-of-the-art shotcrete technology. It
provides an overview of the many and various uses of shotcrete.
Shotcrete is well suited for construction of curvilinear structures
(domes, shells, bobsleigh/luge tracks, etc.) and overhead shotcrete
applications (seismic retrofit, repairs, ground support, etc.) that
could not be constructed technically and/or economically using
conventional formed, cast-in-place concrete construction methods. It
contains chapters on history, shotcrete materials and mixture
proportioning, performance, shotcrete research, equipment and
shotcrete application. It is also comprised of shotcrete case history
examples including buildings and structures, infrastructure repair and
rehabilitation, ground support and shoring, underground support in
tunnels and mines, swimming pools and spas, and, finally,
architectural shotcrete. This text should be of interest to design
engineers and architects considering the use of the technology, as
well as academics. It serves as a useful guide to contractors using
shotcrete in one or more of its many and various applications.
