THE NEW WAY OF REINFORCING SHOTCRETE. LARGE ROCK CAVERNS - PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM, HELSINKI, FINLAND, 25-28 AUGUST 1986. VOLUME 2

Nearly 60% of shotcreting in Norway is steel fibre reinforced. Inclusion of enlarged ends steel fibres have made it possible to replace mesh by steel fibres gaining at least the same properties regarding toughness, ductility and bond to rock surface. Economically considerations favour steel fibre reinforcement due to higher capacity, no time to fasten mesh, lower stand still time. Utilizing wet process shotcreting, remote controlled rigs, steel fibre reinforcement and microsilica have brought Norwegian shotcreting technology into a front position worldwide. For the covering abstract of the symposium see IRRD 810647. (Author/TRRL)
