E.J. Cording
Shotcrete has proven to be useful on many tunnel projects both for initial support during construction and for permanent support. This paper describes its use in large shallow underground openings in rock and presents several examples which indicated the effect of geology on shotcrete behavior.

Madan M. Singh and Seymour A. Bortz
Although the concept of pneumatically applying gunite to a construction face has been in existence since the turn of the century, the use of shotcrete in tunneling has only become one of significance in the last 10 to 15 years. Most of the developments to date have been in Europe, but now the method has started receiving considerable attention in the United States. It has expected that the next major advances will probably be made in this country.

(Conference Chairman's Note: It is very unfortunate that Mr. Boileau's manuscript covering the summary of Workshop V was misplaced subsequent to the conference and is not available for inclusion herein. The following brief summary was prepared by the Conference Chairmman.) The workship on "Shotcrete Design" met all day Wednesday, July 18, in a morning and evening session. Four speakers presented papers covering a wide range of design considerations.

The New Melones Projet sucessfully used shotcrete, in conjunction with 10' and 15' rock bolts, as a primary tunnel support method. The New Melones Diversion Tunnel was 3,800 feet long with a horseshoe cross-section nominally 30' wide by 18' to 24' below spring line.
