Abstract

The fiber reinforce shotcrete is sprayed concrete reinforced with discrete fibers. The reinforcement of shotcrete by fiber improves toughness, resistance to impact, durability fatigue endurance limits. It is progressively replacing the wire mesh reinforcement. In view of the above, the authors have made an attempt to present with the study of fiber-reinforced shotcrete for supporting underground openings against failure due to rock discontinuity and induced stresses. The main objectives of the work are as follows: - Comparison of steel fiber Vs Mesh reinforced concrete - Characterization of different kinds of fibers for application in shotcrete. - Status of shotcrete support for Underground excavations.
