ACI PRC 506-22 Guide to Shotcrete

The  ACI PRC 506-22 Guide to Shotcrete is a companion document to ACI 506.2, “Specification for Shotcrete,” and provides information on materials and properties of both dry-mix and wet-mix shotcrete. Most facets of the shotcrete process are covered, including application procedures, equipment requirements, and responsibilities of the shotcrete crew. Other aspects, such as preconstruction trials, craftsman qualification tests, materials tests, finished shotcrete acceptance tests, and equipment, are also discussed.

Key aspects:

• Comprehensive Coverage of Shotcrete Practices
• Alignment with ACI SPEC-506.2
• Emphasis on Quality Control and Testing
• Guidance on Equipment and Crew Responsibilities
• Sustainability Considerations

Highlights:

• Covers Both Dry-Mix and Wet-Mix Shotcrete: Detailed guidance on materials, application methods, and equipment for both types of shotcrete.
• Non-Mandatory Guidance: Acts as a companion document to support best practices rather than impose strict rules.
