Case Studies

Shotcrete

Park Oceanographic

A combined reinforcement was used for a thin shell structure in the oceanographic park Valencia (Spain).

Dramix® RC-80/35-BN (end-hooked, length 35mm, diameter 0,45mm) and a single mesh ?8-15cm were applied. Due to the curvature and the limited shell thickness of 6cm to 12cm it would have been very difficult to install a complicated traditional reinforcement in an accurate and safe way. Concrete was applied by shotcrete technology. With the chosen combination, both serviceability and ultimate limit state could be designed.
