Shotcrete is a rapidly developing technology that is supplanting traditional methods of ground support throughout the world. It offers numerous advantages over alternatives in a number of applications, both from an engineering and economic point of view. The many variables involved with this method of concrete placement allow great scope for adaptability, optimization, and error. Shortcrete practitioners therefore require a thorough understanding of the technology to remain competitive and avoid potential problems. From haphazard beginnings, significant research is now emerging to improve our understanding of this process and the resulting material. New materials, techniques, and equipment continue to be developed that will extend the performance and range of applications for shotcrete. This volume includes a selection of papers detailing recent development in this evolving field, written by a large number of authors from around the world. The majority have addressed laboratory research projects, but others have focussed on innovative developments achieved as part of site-based investigations. The result is a reference for shotcrete technologists and practitioners.
