The American Concrete Institute (ACI) recently announced that their ACI Committee 506 has released a new guide on Shotcrete. This new guide provides info on materials and properties dry and wet varieties of shotcrete while also discussing at length the different aspects of shotcrete installation including required equipment, application processes, and the crew's responsibilities.

 

The guide also discusses preconstruction, qualification tests, shotcrete acceptance tests, and equipment. The Committee that created this guide designed it to act as a prerequisite informational piece that then lines up with another guide that gets more into the nitty gritty of Shotcrete installation.

"The newly revised ACI PRC-506-22: Shotcrete-Guide is an excellent primer for anyone interested in learning more about shotcrete materials, equipment, crews, placement techniques, curing, and protection," commented Simon Reny, current Chair of ACI Committee 506. "The guide also details the benefits of shotcrete placement's inherently improved sustainability. "
