Working with chemical admixtures in shotcrete can be an art form and to create properly performing mix designs requires insight. Shotcrete applications add another level of complexity and introduce environmental components that need to be considered. You will look at how your mix is going to perform with the addition of integral waterproofing components (focusing on crystalline admixtures). You will begin to understand the crystalline product and how it reacts with the mix, how it relates to mix performance then move into how important it is to understand the shotcrete environment to make sure proper placement is achieved when using waterproofing admixtures.
