Shotcrete for Vertical and Overhead Surfaces
Description
Shotcrete is a concrete spraying method used on vertical and overhead surfaces. It uses mortar or small aggregate concrete with a high cement content. The material is sprayed at high velocity, and the impact helps compact it so it can cling without sagging.
Builders place shotcrete in layers unti...

Transcript
Shotcrete involves spraying mortar or small aggregate concrete rich in mortar through a hose at high velocity onto a surface that is typically reinforced.
The impact of the high-velocity jet on the surface compacts the material, facilitating its adhesion to vertical or overhead surfaces.
Shotcrete is sprayed and layered incremental...
