Abstract:
We have discussing at considerable length various problems and unanswered questions with the use of accelerators and cement in concrete. The subject of shotcrete strength development has also occupied much of our dialogue. "I want to present to you a shotcreting system that uses neither accelerators nor portland cement and develops high early strength. I am talking about what we call 'polymer 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.

Jan A. Blanck
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.

Harvey W. Parker
A comprehensive field research program is in progress to evaluate practical aspects of the behavior of conventional and experimental shotcretes. The experimental shotcretes are regulated-set shotcrete and steel fiber shotcrete, both of which have been considered promising for several years (Parker, et al 1971). Steel fiber shotcrete contains millions of one ince (25 mm) long steel needle-like fibers which provide improved flexural strength and considerable post-crack resistance.
