Increasingly, fibers are being used to replace temperature and shrinkage reinforcement in concrete and, in some applications, prim ary reinforcement. Comparative Design for Steel Fiber Reinforced vs Double Mesh Reinforced Shotcrete. The majority of industrial floor slabs using fiber reinforced concrete are designed in accordance with; The UK Concrete Society’s TR 34 4th Edition – Concrete Industrial Ground Floors – A Guide to Design and Construction March 2016 American Concrete Institute ACI 360.R-10 Guide to Design of Slabs-on-Ground.

Report Date JULY, 1992 6. For the design of shotcrete mixes, it is of interest to see if data on fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) can be employed as an initial guideline. QUIKRETE also offers cus-tom designs to meet other types and grades of ASTM C1480, as well as job specific specifi-cations. Shotcrete, gunite (/ ˈ ɡ ʌ n aɪ t /), or sprayed concrete is concrete or mortar conveyed through a hose and pneumatically projected at high velocity onto a surface, as a construction technique, first used in 1914.: 7 It is typically reinforced by conventional steel rods, steel mesh, or fibers.

There is a need for introducing toughness and ductility in SFRS design. The polypropylene fibers have been used extensively to produce fiber-reinforced shotcrete. Shotcrete, therefore, owing to its distinct mix design and placement procedures, develops a number of properties different from cast concrete. Therefore no spec 17. xref

The using of synthetic fibers is beneficial in terms of decreasing the shrinkage cracks. Author. No completely satisfactory engineering model exists for ground interaction with shotcrete linings, especially for hard rock When using the WWF, there is always the issue of uniform density of the shotcrete layer because if the shotcrete is not built up correctly around the WWF, voids in the shadow of the WWF become a concern. Fiber Reinforced Shotcrete (FRS) also allows for a uniform thickness and uniform density following the contours of the receiving face. QUIKRETE Shotcrete MS with Steel Fibers complies with Grade FR (Fiber-Reinforced), Class II. Fibre-reinforced concrete is inspired in ancient building techniques such as adobe, boasting greater ductility which allows it to deform under tensile stress, as well as greater energy absorption capacity despite cracking.
