Shotcrete for Rehabilitation of American’s Infrastructure Workshop

Presented by the American Shotcrete Association at the International Bridge Conference on June 7, 2010 from 1:30-3:00 pm.

ASA will provide an overview of the shotcrete process and how it’s versatility has lead to its growing use for the rehabilitation of bridges and other concrete structures. The presentation will provide an update on technical advancements in shotcrete mix design, including the benefits of silica fume, fiber reinforcement and air entrainment. It will also touch on important aspects of the shotcrete process such as curing and shotcrete nozzleman certification. Our intent will be to provide attendees with a better understanding of the shotcrete process and also provide them with basics required to write a good shotcrete specification. The message will be reinforced through the use of recent case histories taken from projects around North America.

Contact the ASA for more details about this and other workshops at the 2010 IBC.

ASA 2010-2011 Graduate Scholarship Program Now Open!
