Shortcreting has proved to be the best method for
construction of curved surfaces. Domes are now much easier
to construct with the advent of shotcrete technology. Tunnel
linings are also becoming easy with this technology. Not only
are these but there a wide range of applications where this
technology has been a leading one. This technical paper
includes the concept of shotcrete and how it differs from
conventional concrete. It also enumerates the different types
of process involved in shotcreting i.e. dry mix process and
wet mix process. Advantages of shotcrete and its
applications in various fields like tunneling, canals, buildings
etc. are specified in detail. This paper presents an overview
of shotcreting technology along with its applications.
