UndergroundEstimating Volume of Shotcrete for Mining Applications
David F. Wood
Read MoreTraditionally, there has been a rather ad hoc attitude toÂwards technical supervision of mining engineering ground control programs, to the extent that the preparation and enforcement of specifications has not been a major issue. In certain locations, however, the dominant use of conÂtracting companies to

Read MoreThe infrastructure of the United States is crumbling above, below, and around us. A considerable segment of the public and private engineering community is currently engaged in solving a geoÂmetrically increasing problem with geometrically decreasing funds. The problem is often compounded since maintenance of public
UndergroundDry, Pre-mixed Shotcrete Supply for Tunnels and Mines
Hugo Armelin, Neil Duke, Jorge Montegu, Luis Contreras
Read MoreTunneling and mining projects use shotcrete primarily as a means of ground support. Immediate application of shotcrete provides stability of the working face, preventÂing loose rock from initiating movement and thus permitÂting incremental advances of underground openings even in the worst ground conditions (type V
