Shotcrete is a process of placing concrete. The need to use galvanized or any other type of reinforcing is, or should be, based on the needs of the project and the preference of the structural design engineer. For liquid-containing concrete structures, the designer may review ACI 350-06, “Code Requirements for Environmental Engineering Concrete Structures,” which has specific concrete material, cover, and reinforcing requirements for concrete exposed to a variety of chemical and saltwater exposures. (The aforementioned ACI Committee 350 publication may be purchased from the American Concrete Institute at www.concrete.org”.)
