OR
(NEW) Have TWO COMPANIES (parent/subsidiary companies) associated with this membership, allowing both companies to be displayed in ASA’s online Buyers Guide and each enjoying full promotional Corporate member benefits.
Highlighted Benefits (Marketing and Promotion)
- Requests for up to TWO complimentary ASA seminars (expenses only) per membership year, presented by an industry expert. These AIA-accredited seminars provide an opportunity to market and educate local owners, engineers, architects, DOTs, and other specifiers who could gain from a better understanding of the benefits and specification requirements for quality shotcrete placement. For more information, e-mail [email protected];
- Enhanced recognition on the ASA website with your company’s logo hyperlinked to your company’s website;
- Acknowledgment in Shotcrete magazine;
- Opportunity to submit a Sustaining Corporate Member Profile (2-page advertorial) in Shotcrete magazine;
- Acknowledgment at industry shows such as the ASA Convention, the ASA exhibit at World of Concrete, plus other major ASA functions such as the Outstanding Shotcrete Project Awards Banquet;
- Unlimited opportunities to submit press release announcements for Industry News and New Products & Processes sections (new products, services, and/or personnel changes within your organization) in upcoming issues of Shotcrete magazine (at NO CHARGE!); and
- Permission to use the “ASA Sustaining Corporate Member” logo in your promotional publications and website, accessed via our members-only Media Room.
Discounts

Pre-blended dry or damp materials are placed into the delivery equipment. Compressed air conveys material through a hose at high velocity to the nozzle, where water is added. Material is consolidated on the receiving surface by the high-impact velocity.

Shotcrete is just a placement method for concrete. Thus, the in-place material will have the same characteristics as concrete. You should consult the coating supplier to establish how long they want the concrete surface cured. They may also specify a certain limit for surface moisture conditions. There are several methods for evaluating the moisture content of the in-place concrete. Here are the ASTM standards that deal with surface moisture:
- ASTM F710, Preparing Concrete Floors to Receive Resilient Flooring; Section 5.2, pH Testing;
- ASTM F1869, Measuring Moisture Vapor Emission Rate of Concrete Subfloor Using Anhydrous Calcium Chloride;
- ASTM F2170, Determining Relative Humidity in Concrete Floor Slabs Using in situ Probes;
- ASTM F2659, Preliminary Evaluation of Comparative Moisture Condition of Concrete, Gypsum Cement and Other Floor Slabs and Screeds Using a Non-Destructive Electronic Moisture Meter; and
- ASTM F3191, Field Determination of Substrate Water Absorption (Porosity) for Substrates to Receive Resilient Flooring.
In addition, The International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) has a certification program, “ICRI Concrete Slab Moisture Testing Technician—Grade 1.”
There are many variables that would need to be considered to answer your question. Water flow, depth of the application, and overall geometry can influence the required thickness. This is a question that should be addressed by an experienced engineer who can ascertain the required structural properties to resist the hydraulic loads for the depth and geometry of your application. You may find consultants who are ASA Corporate Members in our Buyers Guide.
Shotcrete is a placement method for concrete. Thus, generating the maturity curves are based on the concrete mixtures. There are several online resources about the maturity method. The Minnesota DOT provides a PDF resource that discusses production of the curves.
Shotcrete is simply a placement method for concrete. The specified concrete cover over reinforcing bar is usually included in contract documents for construction and values vary depending on exposure conditions. ACI 318 provides cover requirements for structural concrete in buildings, and ACI 350 provides cover requirements for concrete liquid-containing structures. Local building codes and fire codes may also require specific cover in concrete construction. If your project doesn’t specify the cover requirements, we recommend you consult with a professional engineer experienced in the type of project you are working on to learn what the code requirements may be.
