Abstract: The intent of this paper is to identify the basic physical laws governing particle kinematics in a shotcrete spray. This paper presents a governing equation based on Newton’s second law where nozzle and airflow characteristics, ...

Abstract: Tests were carried out to study the influence of set accelerating admixtures on the properties of dry-mix shotcrete, especially its durability. A total of 27 mixtures were shot using two different types of cement (ASTM ...

Abstract: In this study, both free and restrained shrinkage tests were performed to derive the total tensile strain behavior (i.e., creep effect) of wet-mix and dry-mix shotcretes. A simple analysis procedure is presented to ...
