Initial Development of Polymer Shotcrete
A limited program was conducted to investigate the potential use of polymer concrete for shotcrete application. Polymer shotcrete is similar to conventional shotcrete except that a polymeric binder is used in lieu of portland cement and water. The polymer shotcrete was successfully applied using modified conventional shotcrete equipment. Polymer shotcrete cures in 10 to 15 minutes after application, develops full compressive strength ranging upwards to 14,600 psi immediately upon curing, and should have potential applications in areas in which these properties would offer definite benefits over conventional shotcrete. Polymer shotcrete, being organic in nature, requires that certain safety measures be taken to assure safe use. (Author)
