GeneralQ Our firm is working as a consultant for a project. We have very little experience with shotcrete. What is the life span for a shotcrete wall?
Shotcrete is a method of concrete placement, not a product. Therefore, concrete placed by the shotcrete method will exhibit the same characteristics as concrete placed by other methods. Mixture designs and proportions for shotcrete are modified for high-velocity placement. The high velocity provides some performance improvements over conventional cast-in-place methods when properly placed.
