Abstract:
To facilitate the shotcreter’s task, partial or full automation of the placement process is of interest, which is why the Shotcrete Laboratory at the Université Laval, Québec, QC, Canada, acquired a six-axis robotic arm in 2019. The arm can repeat predefined spraying patterns with practically flawless accuracy. This robot, combined with a data acquisition system that measures rebound during a standardized spraying session, is the starting point of a large research project, “SPARO – Shotcrete Placement Automated by Robot."
CI4801InnovationForum
This article highlights a presentation from the 2025 Concrete Innovation Forum, “Using Pozzolanic Reactivity to Optimize Concrete Mixtures for Performance, Cost, and Sustainability,” developed by W. Jason Weiss, FACI, and Burkan Isgor, FACI. Delivered by Weiss, this presentation focused on combining science-based tests with rigorous computational models to help design concrete mixtures for the future.
