ACI SP-14:1978 PDF Download

ACI SP-14:1978 is a collection of 13 papers that provide a comprehensive guide to the application and specification of shotcrete. It serves as a valuable resource for both field personnel involved in the application of shotcrete and engineers responsible for specifying its use.

The standard covers various aspects related to shotcreting, including the engineering properties of both dry-mix and wet-mix shotcrete made with different types of aggregates, such as coarse, lightweight, and sand. It also provides information on quality control methods and the preparation of test specimens.

Additionally, the standard provides detailed insights into the capabilities of shotcrete equipment. It discusses the use of shotcrete for repairs, as well as its application in tunnel linings and other underground support systems. It also explores the use of shotcrete in the construction of tanks and addresses the specific considerations involved in gunning refractory castables.
