CIA Z5-2008

The document has been written as a guide to the use of shotcrete in Australia. It is based on established practice within the Australian context and is targeted towards designers, specifiers, owners, suppliers, contractors and other end users of shotcrete.This is the second edition of the Guide first published in 1987 as 'Sprayed Concrete'. The review team has arranged the guide into chapters and clauses covering specific areas of information relevant to shotcrete technology. In the absence of an Australian Standard on shotcrete the chapter within the guide on Design Considerations has been organised in a broadly-similar manner to AS 3600 Concrete Structure, to facilitate a complementary approach to design.
