Ground Support
Using shotcrete to stabilize soil for excavation has advantages over traditional timber and steel shoring techniques. Shotcrete is also ideal for ground support in tunneling and mining.
It can be used as a final or permanent lining for underground structures.
Shotcrete Education
Alkali-Aggregate Reaction
In many cases, aggregates are inert. However, in some cases, aggregates react with the alkali hydroxides in concrete, causing expansion and cracking over time. This reaction has two forms: alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and alkali-carbonate reaction (ACR).
Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is the most concerning because aggregates containing reactive silica materials are far more common. Indicators of ASR are random map cracking. In advanced cases, closed joints and attendant spalled concrete appear. These areas of cracking generally appear in areas with a high level of moisture.
Mitigation and repair of ASR possible with the proper expertise, materials, and processes.
