This presentation will provide the owner, design engineer, project specifier, field inspector, specialty subcontractors, and general contractors with an overview of how shotcrete can be efficiently and cost-effectively utilized for the structural repair, rehabilitation, and re-purposing of concrete buildings and infrastructure. We will provide a basic overview of the shotcrete process, covering the design, specifying, and detailing considerations for the design of shotcrete repairs.
Next, we will cover field considerations, including reduced formwork needs and scheduling advantages. We will also discuss achieving quality shotcrete placement, addressing field inspection, shooting techniques, shotcreter and inspector certifications, and contractor qualifications. We will conclude with a list of relevant references and resources on the use of shotcrete for structural concrete repair.
