ABSTRACT

Abstract High performance shotcrete may be understood as: • the wet mix application method • reinforcement by steel fibres (SFRS) • high concrete quality, giving high density, low permeability and good durability • applied with equipment adapted to the task, allowing low rebound, high safety and

excellent quality assurance • utilisation of latest admixture technology

The application of this technology is often blocked by a too narrow evaluation basis, looking into part costs like materials, equipment investment etc., without a proper calculation of total cost in the structure.
