Guide To Shotcrete: Introduction of Revised Specification For Shotcrete and Other Shotcrete Development

Uploaded by

masteriraga

The document introduces the revised specification for shotcrete and other developments in shotcrete. It provides a history of shotcrete, including its introduction in 1910 and adoption of the term "shotcrete" by ACI in 1951. It discusses the history of the ACI Guide to Shotcrete, from the original 1966 version to the latest 2005 edition. The new revised Guide aims to better integrate all ACI 506 shotcrete documents and provide updated guidance on materials, execution, equipment, crew safety, and sustainability. It emphasizes that shotcrete is essentially concrete that is consolidated by impact rather than vibration during placement.
