SHOTCRETE

The use Dramix® steel fibre reinforced concrete is one of the most efficient ways to reinforce shotcrete, replacing mesh reinforcing.  This speeds up installation and is a safer way to construct these elements.  Design efficiencies are possible through using the increased bending moment and shear capacities of the Dramix® SFRC.

Where a watertight shotcrete lining is required, Dramix® can be used in combination with conventional reinforcing, often reducing 2 layers of steel to 1 layer and at the same time improving crack control and removing expensive water stopped joints.  See the section on Dramix Combi Slab for more information.
