StructuralQ We are looking for the application of shotcrete on tidal waters. We are located on Lower Puget sound in Washington state and need examples where this has been used and is holding up under the moving tides. The examples don’t have to be applied to our area; the same conditions may apply to other saltwater areas.
Shotcrete is a placement method for high-quality concrete. Here’s a link to an article of a rehabilitation of a concrete-supported lighthouse in the Saint Lawrence Seaway (Pointe de la Prairie Lighthouse) that provides a lot of detail on an installation similar to yours, including salt-water exposure in a tidal zone: (shotcrete.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/2014Sum_Sustainability.pdf). Plus, this project also has extreme freezing-and-thawing exposure.
