The embedment depth of anchors in shotcrete would be the same as it would be for conventionally formed and placed concrete. Shotcrete is essentially a method of placing concrete and the same rules would apply. As with any anchoring system, it is important to make sure that you are anchoring to sound material.
We are working on an historical renovation project where the existing structure has been reinforced with shotcrete. We need to attach structural studs/furring members to the face of this shotcrete. Is there any difference between standard concrete and shotcrete when it comes to fastener embed depth? We are considering powder-actuated fasteners (Hilti-type) or Tapcons.
