Abstract:
Many factors such as mix design, batching, mixing and application influence the durability and strength of shotcrete. A shortcoming in any one factor can result in low quality shotcrete.

Discussion by: Robert C. Bates
Responding to Mr. Graham's paper on the Bureau of Reclamation's work with polymer shotcrete - The Bureau of Mines has also investigated the use of polymeric materials for "shotcrete" linings, and at the present time, we cannot be as optimistic as Mr. Graham on flammability and toxicity.

Robert C. Bates
Health and safety considerations in the use of shotcrete are discussed. The dust conditions, rebound problems, and causticity problems that occur during the shotcreting are discussed along with methods of overcoming them. There are also problems concurrent with shotcrete after it has been in place for a few minutes or several days. These include lack of strength, residual causticity, and improper placement.

Gordon M. Miner
The principle of spraying a cement-sand mixture was developed in the early 1900's (trade name of Gunite) and has been used for special applications by the mining industry throughout the years. Howevever, this same process using a coarse aggregate (now called shotcrete) was not developed until the mid-50's when it was used on a tunnel project in Austria.

James R. Graham
The author wishes to thank Mr. Robert C. Bates for the discussion of his paper "Polymer Shotcrete." Mr. Bates presents some very good and appropriate points regarding safety when considering the use of materials such as the monomers discussed in the paper.
