Identify the INCORRECT statement about shotcrete.

  • A.Shotcrete is the name given to mortar or concrete conveyed through a hose and pneumatically projected at a low velocity onto a backup surface.
  • B.Shotcrete is more formally called pneumatically applied mortar or concrete.
  • C.Shotcrete is used for thin, lightly reinforced sections.
  • D.Shotcrete is used in stabilising rock slopes.

Answer: A

The incorrect statement is the first one, because shotcrete is projected at a high velocity, not a low one. The high speed of the pneumatic jet compacts the material against the backing surface as it hits. The other statements are correct: shotcrete is the more formal name of pneumatically applied mortar or concrete, it is used for thin, lightly reinforced sections such as shell roofs and linings, and it is used to stabilise rock slopes and tunnel faces.
